Gametogenesis is the process of production of gametes. In males, it is spermatogenesis and in females it is oogenesis. The cells in the germline that undergo meiosis, primary spermatocytes or primary oocytes, are derived from the zygote by a long series of mitosis before the onset of the two meiotic cycles to form the mature gametes. Testosterone is an androgen that plays an important role in the formation and release of sperm from the seminiferous tubules. What is the count of chromosomes after the first and second meiotic divisions in the formation of sperms? Give a reason to support your answer.
