Solution
Core Logic
Let's review the spermatogenesis process:
- A is incorrect: Spermatogonia multiply by mitotic division to increase their numbers, not meiosis.
- B is incorrect: Primary spermatocytes undergo the first meiotic division (reduction division) to form secondary spermatocytes.
- C is correct: Secondary spermatocytes undergo the second meiotic division to form haploid spermatids.
- D is incorrect: Spermatids do not undergo mitosis. They undergo cellular differentiation.
- E is correct: The transformation process of spermatids into mature spermatozoa (sperms) is called spermiogenesis.
Step 1: Final Conclusion
The correct statements are C and E only.
Pattern Recognition
Gonia = Mitosis. Primary -> Secondary = Meiosis I. Secondary -> Spermatids = Meiosis II. Spermatids -> Spermatozoa = Spermiogenesis (differentiation, not division).
