The four sperm produced by spermatogenesis is identical to the sequence of the sperm precursor cell.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During spermatogenesis, each spermatogonium undergoes two rounds of division to produce four haploid sperm cells. The sperm cells produced are not identical to the precursor cell, as they undergo meiosis, which introduces genetic variation through crossing over and independent assortment of chromosomes in meiosis I, and separation of sister chromatids in meiosis II. Consequently, the four spermatozoa produced by spermatogenesis are unique, each carrying a different combination of genetic information.
