For every one cell that goes through meiosis, how many become a sperm cell
A
1
B
2
C
3
D
4
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cytokinesis follows, dividing the cytoplasm of the two cells. At the conclusion of meiosis, there are four haploid daughter cells that go on to develop into either sperm or egg cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -In the male, meiosis takes place after puberty. Diploid cells within the testes undergo meiosis to produce haploid sperm cells with 23 chromosomes. A single diploid cell yields four haploid sperm cells through meiosis.

Detailed explanation-3: -Telophase II: During telophase II, cell division begins again in each of the two daughter cells, creating 4 daughter cells. Each of these 4 daughter cells contains 23 chromosomes, making them haploid, and none of the 4 is exactly alike (due to crossing over and independent assortment).

Detailed explanation-4: -In Oogenesis there is only one ovum is produced due to unequal division of meiosis producing one haploid cell. Mature eggs are produced during female gametogenesis or oogenesis. Meiosis causes 4 haploid cells to divide into a single egg.

Detailed explanation-5: -Cells divide and reproduce in two ways, mitosis and meiosis. Mitosis results in two identical daughter cells, whereas meiosis results in four sex cells.
