Which of the following cells during gametogenesis is normally diploid?
- Spermatogonia
- Secondary polar body
- Primary polar body
- Spermatid
Answer
(1) Spermatogonia
Solution
As per NCERT, the spermatogonia (sperm mother cells) are diploid and contain 46 chromosomes; they multiply by mitosis.
The primary polar body and the secondary polar body are formed after meiosis and are haploid; spermatids are also haploid.
∴ Spermatogonia are normally diploid.
