The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the following statements is not a correct difference between male and female humans, we will analyze each statement one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Statement Analysis**: - **Statement 1**: "Spermatogenesis begins in males at puberty, whereas oogenesis begins in females before they are even born." - **Explanation**: Spermatogenesis, the formation of sperm, does indeed begin at puberty in males. Oogenesis, the formation of eggs, starts during embryonic development in females. This statement is correct. 2. **Conclusion for Statement 1**: This statement is a correct difference between males and females. 3. **Statement 2**: "During meiosis, spermatogenesis involves equal cytokinesis." - **Explanation**: In spermatogenesis, cytokinesis is equal, resulting in four equal-sized sperm cells from one primary spermatocyte. In contrast, oogenesis involves unequal cytokinesis, leading to one large ovum and three smaller polar bodies. This statement is also correct. 4. **Conclusion for Statement 2**: This statement is a correct difference between males and females. 5. **Statement 3**: "One primary spermatocyte produces four gametes, whereas one primary oocyte produces a single ovum." - **Explanation**: This is accurate; one primary spermatocyte produces four sperm cells, while one primary oocyte produces one ovum and three polar bodies. This statement is correct. 6. **Conclusion for Statement 3**: This statement is a correct difference between males and females. 7. **Statement 4**: "Spermatosoa contribute to mitochondria of the zygote." - **Explanation**: This statement is incorrect. The mitochondria of the zygote come exclusively from the ovum, not the sperm. The sperm contributes only its nuclear DNA and a few organelles, but not mitochondria. Therefore, this statement is not a correct difference. 8. **Conclusion for Statement 4**: This statement is incorrect and does not represent a valid difference between male and female humans. ### Final Answer: The statement that is not a correct difference between male and female humans is: **"Spermatosoa contribute to mitochondria of the zygote."** ---
