The process of meiotic cell division in a human male usually forms:
A. four diploid cells.
B. four monoploid cells.
C. one monoploid cell, only.
D. one diploid cell, only.
Meiosis in a human male is called spermatogenesis. Four haploid (half the number of chromosomes as normal cells) sperm cells are made by the two cytoplasmic divisions, beginning with one diploid (normal number of chromosomes) cell. In human females, oogenesis only produces one larger haploid cell and three small polar bodies that die.
