Question 6 • Biology

What happens to a spermatid to change it into a sperm cell?

Answer
A
The nuclei of two polar bodies fuse, making a cell with 2n chromosomes.
B
A membrane hardens, making the sperm a nonmotile cell.
C
Meiosis occurs, making a cell with n chromosomes.
D
A tail is added, making the sperm a motile cell.

Explanation

A spermatid has already formed through meiosis and is haploid, with n chromosomes. It matures into a sperm cell through changes that include developing a tail (flagellum), which allows it to move. Thus, the correct choice is “A tail is added, making the sperm a motile cell.”
