Question

Match the descriptor given in the left-hand column to the appropriate cell type listed in the right-hand column.

Question 2 options:

primary spermatocyte

secondary spermatocyte

spermatogonium

spermatid

spermatozoa

12345

precursor cell that is produced following the first meiotic cell division during spermatogenesis; this haploid cell undergoes the second meiotic cell division

12345

precursor cell that has the capacity and has committed to developing into a functional sperm; this diploid cell represents the first cell capable of undergoing a meiotic, rather than a mitotic type cell division

12345

most immature precursor cell that has the capacity to eventually develop into a functional sperm; this cell is diploid and can only undergo mitotic type cell divisions

12345

structurally mature gamete that results from the process of spermatogenesis; this cell is small and flagellated

12345

precursor cell that is produced as a result of the second meiotic cell division during the process of spermatogenesis; this haploid cell is large, round, non flagellated

1.

primary spermatocyte

2.

secondary spermatocyte

3.

spermatogonium

4.

spermatid

5.

spermatozoa

3.

spermatogonium

most immature precursor cell that has the capacity to eventually develop into a functional sperm; this cell is diploid and can only undergo mitotic type cell divisions

4.
