Which of the following statements correctly describes a stage or process in human spermatogenesis as depicted in the diagram?

  • A: Primary spermatocytes undergo Meiosis II to produce secondary spermatocytes.
  • B: Spermatogonia are haploid cells that divide by mitosis.
  • C: Secondary spermatocytes are haploid and produce spermatids after Meiosis II.
  • D: Spermatids are released into the epididymis where they gain motility.

Explanation

The diagram clearly shows that secondary spermatocytes, which are haploid n , undergo Meiosis II to produce spermatids, also haploid n . These spermatids then differentiate into mature sperm cells.
