Question

How many types of gametes are produced during spermatogenesis in human males?

Options

• One type carrying X

• Four different types of gametes

• Two types: one carrying X and one carrying Y

• One type carrying Y

Answer 1

During spermatogenesis in human males (XY), two types of sperms are produced in equal proportions: X-bearing sperms and Y-bearing sperms. This diversity arises because the male has both X and Y chromosomes that segregate during meiosis, producing two distinct sperm populations.
