How many meiotic divisions are necessary for formation of 80 sperms?
Answers
Answer:
20
Explanation:
Meiotic division which is also known as reduction division , is a process where diploid mother cell (2n) gets divided into two haploid daughter cells(n).
The two haploid daughter cells (n) again undergoes mitotic division to form four identical haploid ' n' cells.All the cells in a human body are diploid in nature whereas the gamete cells - sperm and ova are haploid in nature.
Since sperm undergoes meiotic division and produces four haploid cell, then the number of division it will require to reach 80 is 80/4= 20.
Answer:
The number of ‘meiotic divisions’ that are necessary for the production of 80 sperms is 20.
Explanation:
During the process of spermatogenesis, the haploid sperms are produced by the meiotic division that occurs. The diploid sperm mother cells undergo reduction division or meiosis to form haploid sperm cells.
Each meiotic division splits a single mother cell into 4 daughter cells. Two haploid germ cells that is the ‘sperm and the egg’ fuse together to give rise to a diploid zygote.
