Spermatogenesis Questions With Answers

Spermatogenesis is the phenomena where the sperm (male gamete) develops within the male reproductive organs, the testes. Each sperm in this process contains only one copy of each chromosome. To create the haploid gamete, cells undergo the meiotic process in which the genome is replicated and divided twice to produce four haploid gametes. The process typically occurs in seminiferous tubules of the testes after passing through different stages.
