The correct Answer is:
To determine which match or matches are incorrect regarding the number of chromosomes in different stages of male gamete formation, let's analyze each option step by step: ### Step 1: Analyze Option A - Spermatogonium - **Spermatogonium** is the initial cell in the spermatogenesis process. - It is a diploid cell (2N) and contains **46 chromosomes** (44 autosomes and 2 sex chromosomes, XY). - **Conclusion**: Option A is **correct**. ### Step 2: Analyze Option B - Spermatid - **Spermatid** is formed after the secondary spermatocyte undergoes meiosis. - It is a haploid cell (N) and contains **23 chromosomes** (22 autosomes and 1 sex chromosome). - **Conclusion**: Option B is **incorrect** as it states that spermatid has 46 chromosomes. ### Step 3: Analyze Option C - Sperm - **Sperm** is the final product of spermatogenesis. - Like the spermatid, it is also a haploid cell (N) and contains **23 chromosomes** (22 autosomes and 1 sex chromosome). - **Conclusion**: Option C is **correct**. ### Step 4: Analyze Option D - Secondary Spermatocyte - **Secondary spermatocyte** is formed from the primary spermatocyte after the first meiotic division. - It is a haploid cell (N) and contains **23 chromosomes** (22 autosomes and 1 sex chromosome). - **Conclusion**: Option D is **correct**. ### Final Conclusion: - The only incorrect match is **Option B** (Spermatid - 46 chromosomes). ### Summary of Incorrect Matches: - **Incorrect Match**: B (Spermatid - 46 chromosomes) ---
