The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Spermatogenesis**: - Spermatogenesis is the process of male gamete (sperm) formation. It involves several stages, including the differentiation of spermatogonia into spermatids. 2. **Identifying the Meiotic Divisions**: - During spermatogenesis, there are two meiotic divisions: - The **first meiotic division** occurs when a primary spermatocyte (diploid) divides to form two secondary spermatocytes (haploid). - The **second meiotic division** occurs when each secondary spermatocyte (haploid) divides to form two spermatids (haploid). 3. **Locating the Second Meiotic Division**: - The second meiotic division specifically occurs during the conversion of secondary spermatocytes into spermatids. This means that the secondary spermatocyte undergoes meiosis II to produce spermatids. 4. **Evaluating the Options**: - **Option 1**: Spermatogonia type A to Spermatogonia type B - This is mitosis, not meiosis. - **Option 2**: Primary spermatocyte to secondary spermatocyte - This is the first meiotic division. - **Option 3**: Spermatogonia type B to primary spermatocyte - This is also mitosis. - **Option 4**: Secondary spermatocyte to spermatid - This is the correct identification of the second meiotic division. 5. **Conclusion**: - The second meiotic division occurs when secondary spermatocytes convert into spermatids. Therefore, the correct answer is **Option 4**.
