Question

Find out which option is correct regarding diagrammetic presentation of spermatogenesis given below ?

• A. Step 1 is correct but step 2 is incorrect
• B. Step 1 and step 2 both are incorrect
• C. Step 1 is incorrect but step 2 is correct
• D. Step 1 and step 2 both are correct

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

(2) Step 1 and step 2 both are incorrect

Answer 2

The diagram incorrectly labels the phases of spermatogenesis. Step 1, showing the transition from Spermatogonium Type A to Type B, is labeled as "Growth phase," but this transition is part of the multiplication phase. The actual growth phase involves the spermatogonium developing into a primary spermatocyte. Step 2, showing the first meiotic division from Spermatogonium Type B (which should be a primary spermatocyte) to secondary spermatocytes, is labeled as "Multiplication phase," but meiotic divisions occur during the maturation phase. Thus, both steps are incorrectly described.
