The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze each option regarding the process of spermatogenesis, which is the formation of sperm cells in males. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Spermatogenesis**: - Spermatogenesis begins with spermatogonia, which are the stem cells in the testes. 2. **Formation of Primary Spermatocyte**: - Spermatogonia undergo mitotic division to produce primary spermatocytes. 3. **Meiosis I**: - Primary spermatocytes undergo meiosis I, resulting in the formation of secondary spermatocytes. - This confirms that Option 1 is correct: "Meiosis I occurs in primary spermatocyte." 4. **Meiosis II**: - Secondary spermatocytes then undergo meiosis II, which leads to the formation of spermatids. - Therefore, Option 2 is incorrect: "Meiosis I occurs in secondary spermatocyte." 5. **Spermatids**: - Spermatids are the result of meiosis II and do not undergo further division; they mature into spermatozoa. - This means Option 3 is incorrect: "Meiosis I takes place in spermatids." 6. **Final Confirmation**: - Since meiosis II occurs in secondary spermatocytes and not in spermatids, Option 4 is also incorrect: "Meiosis II occurs in spermatids." ### Conclusion: The only correct statement is Option 1: "Meiosis I occurs in primary spermatocyte."
