2n=16 is a primary spermatocyte, which is in metaphase of first meiotic division. What shall be the total number of chromatids in each of the secondary spermatocyte?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
16
Option C (16) is correct because a primary spermatocyte with 2n=16 undergoing meiosis I has 16 chromosomes, each with two chromatids (32 chromatids total). After meiosis I, each secondary spermatocyte receives half the number of chromosomes (n=8), but each chromosome still consists of two chromatids, resulting in 16 chromatids per secondary spermatocyte.
