can you tell me if this is right, I think it is the third choice. thanks
the question is what is true of spermatogenesis
Sperm production occurs several degrees above body temperature.
The sperm cell consists of an acrosomal unit, which carries enzymes to penetrate the egg cell, a haploid nucleus, a coiled mitochondrion, and a corpus luteum.
Primary spermatocytes are diploid, while secondary spermatocytes are haploid.
The centriole contains the genetic information of the sperm cell.
You are right!
Sperm production occurs best a few degrees below body temperature. This is why the testes are external to the body rather than being internal like the ovaries.
Corpus luteum means "yellow body" and is formed in the ovaries after a follicle emits an ovum.
The centriole develops into the tail of the sperm. The genetic information is in the nucleus.
I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.
Actually, there is an error in your response. The correct statement about spermatogenesis is:
Primary spermatocytes are diploid, while secondary spermatocytes are haploid.
Spermatogenesis is the process of producing sperm cells in the testes. It begins with germ cells called spermatogonia that undergo mitotic division to produce primary spermatocytes, which are diploid (having the full set of chromosomes). These primary spermatocytes then undergo meiosis I to produce two secondary spermatocytes, which are haploid (having half the number of chromosomes). Meiosis II then occurs, resulting in the formation of four haploid round spermatids. These spermatids will eventually go through further differentiation and maturation to become sperm cells.
So, the correct choice is the third one, that primary spermatocytes are diploid and secondary spermatocytes are haploid.
Regarding the other statements you mentioned, they are not true about spermatogenesis. Sperm production occurs at a temperature a few degrees below body temperature, not above it. The sperm cell consists of various structures, including the acrosomal unit, haploid nucleus, coiled mitochondria, and tail, but it does not have a corpus luteum. The centriole does play a role in sperm formation, but it does not contain the genetic information of the sperm cell; that information is contained in the nucleus.
I hope this clarifies the concept of spermatogenesis for you. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask!
