The correct Answer is:
To determine how many structures are diploid among the given options (sperms, spermatid, spermatogonia, primary spermatocyte, secondary spermatocyte), we can analyze each structure based on their chromosome number: 1. **Spermatogonia**: - These are the germ cells in the male reproductive system. - They are diploid, meaning they contain two sets of chromosomes (46 chromosomes or 23 pairs). 2. **Spermatid**: - This is the haploid product of meiosis, meaning it contains only one set of chromosomes (23 chromosomes). - Therefore, spermatids are not diploid. 3. **Sperms**: - Sperm cells are also haploid, containing only one set of chromosomes (23 chromosomes). - Thus, sperm cells are not diploid. 4. **Primary Spermatocyte**: - This cell undergoes meiosis to form secondary spermatocytes. - Primary spermatocytes are diploid, containing two sets of chromosomes (46 chromosomes or 23 pairs). 5. **Secondary Spermatocyte**: - These are the result of the first meiotic division of primary spermatocytes. - Secondary spermatocytes are haploid, containing only one set of chromosomes (23 chromosomes). - Therefore, secondary spermatocytes are not diploid. Now, summarizing the diploid structures: - **Diploid Structures**: - Spermatogonia - Primary Spermatocyte Thus, the total number of diploid structures is **2**. ### Final Answer: **2 structures are diploid: Spermatogonia and Primary Spermatocyte.**
