Question

which of the following statements accurately describes the outcome of spermatogenesis?
all four daughter cells are viable sperm without polar bodies.
only two daughter cells are viable sperm without polar bodies.
three daughter cells are viable sperm with polar bodies.
all four daughter cells are non - viable with polar bodies.

Explanation:

Spermatogenesis is the process of sperm cell development. In this process, a diploid spermatogonium undergoes meiosis. Meiosis I and Meiosis II result in four haploid cells. Unlike oogenesis (egg - cell formation) where polar bodies are formed (unequal cytoplasmic division leading to non - functional cells), in spermatogenesis, all four daughter cells are viable sperm cells as there is equal cytoplasmic division during meiosis in males.

Answer:

A. All four daughter cells are viable sperm without polar bodies.
