Please solve question 8.

Dear student, In males, sperms are produced by the spermatogonia (immature germ cells) which are located in the inner walls of the seminiferous tubules. Spermatogonia divides by the process of mitosis and are diploid. Some of the spermatogonia (primary spermatocytes) undergoes the process of meiosis periodically. After the first meiotic division, two haploid secondary spermatocytes are formed. which further divide by meiosis(2nd meiotic division) to give rise to four haploid spermatids. These spermatids are then transformed into sperms by the process of spermiogenesis. Hence, the formed spermatids are haploid as are formed by the meiosis and they possess haploid number of chromosomes. Regards.
