Answer:

Complementary pairing held by hydrogen bonds

Explanation:

A DNA molecule is polynucleotide made up of nucleotide subunits (four). The nucleotides are Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, and Thymine. These nucleotides are arranged on the DNA in two long chains. Each of these chains is called the DNA strand. The base portions of the nucleotides are held together by hydrogen bonds. This pairing of nucleotides is responsible for the double-helical structure of DNA.

Hydrogen bonds hold together complementary base pairs i.e. each base held together is complementary to one another. Complementary base pairing is a phenomenon whereby in DNA, Adenine (A) always binds to Thymine (T), while Guanine (G) always binds to Cytosine (C).

Note that, Adenine and Guanine are purine bases while Cytosine and Thymine are pyrimidine bases. In the nucleotide base pairing in DNA, purines binds to pyrimidines and vice versa

During spermatogenesis, which of the following undergoes meiosis II to produce four haploid mature sperm cells?
Lubov Fominskaja [6]
<span>The primordial germ cell in the embryo undergoes mitosis to produce a spermatogonial stem cell.

The spermatogonial stem cell undergoes mitosis. The new cells could either be stem cells or spermatogonium cells.

The spermatogonium undergoes mitosis to generate a primary spermatocyte.

*** Up until this point, all cells are diploid ****

The primary spermatocyte (diploid) undergoes MEIOSIS I to generate TWO haploid secondary spermatocytes.

Each secondary spermatocyte undergoes MEIOSIS II to generate a total of FOUR early spermatid.

The spermatid mature in the seminiferous tubule, and once they are completely mature they are released into the lumen.

Now called sperm cells, they pass into the epididymis, where they are stored until time to be released during ejaculation
