In the growth phase of spermatogenesis, spermatogonia divide mitotically to produce a large number of primary spermatocytes.
Understand the Problem
The question provides information about the growth phase of spermatogenesis, specifically the process by which spermatogonia divide mitotically to produce primary spermatocytes. It aims to clarify the biological process involved in sperm development.
Answer
Spermatogonia divide mitotically to form primary spermatocytes.
The final answer is that spermatogonia divide mitotically to produce primary spermatocytes, which will eventually undergo meiosis.
Answer for screen readers
The final answer is that spermatogonia divide mitotically to produce primary spermatocytes, which will eventually undergo meiosis.
More Information
In the growth phase of spermatogenesis, spermatogonia undergo multiple mitotic divisions to create a larger pool of primary spermatocytes.
Tips
Confusing mitosis and meiosis can lead to errors. Mitosis increases cell number without reducing chromosome content, while meiosis reduces chromosome content to form gametes.
