Question

Why do the spermatogonia undergo continuous mitosis?

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Spermatogenesis is the process in which haploid spermatozoa develop from germ cells in the seminiferous tubules of the testis.

2. This process starts with the mitotic division of the stem cells located close to the basement membrane of the tubules.

3. Spermatogonia undergo mitotic division in which they replace themselves and produce a daughter cell that will undergo meiotic division.

4. This cell is called a primary spermatocyte.

5. Upon completion of the first meiotic division, the daughter cells are called secondary spermatocytes.
