Solution

The correct option is B

ii,i,iv,iii


The seminiferous tubules have diploid germ cells called spermatogonia which constitute the germinal epithelium. These spermatogonia divide mitotically to maintain the germ cell layer and also undergo different stages of differentiation to form spermatozoa. The spermatogonia divides mitotically to produce 4 primary spermatocytes. Then each of the 4 primary spermatocytes which are still diploid undergo meiosis to produce 2 haploid secondary spermatocytes.
