  4. Primary spermatocyte -> Spermatogonia -> Secondary spermatocyte -> Spermatid
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Spermatogonia -> Primary spermatocyte -> Secondary spermatocyte -> Spermatid

Spermatogenesis begins with diploid spermatogonia, which divide to become primary spermatocytes. These undergo Meiosis I to become secondary spermatocytes and Meiosis II to become haploid spermatids.
