A

Spermatogonia have 46 chromosomes and always undergo meiotic cell division

B

Primary spermatocytes divide by mitotic cell division

C

Secondary spermatocytes have 23 chromosomes and undergo second meiotic division

D

Spermatozoa are transformed into spermatids

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
