Question

Acrosome formation in spermatogenesis occurs in which stage?

• A. First meiotic division
• B. Second meiotic division
• C. Growth phase
• D. Spermiogenesis

Answer 1

The correct option is D Spermiogenesis

In human males, primary spermatocytes periodically undergo meiosis to produce four equal, haploid spermatids. The spermatids are transformed into spermatozoa (sperms) by the process called as spermiogenesis, where the development of morphological characters, like acrosome and tail takes place.

After spermiogenesis, sperm heads become embedded in the Sertoli cells and are finally released from the seminiferous tubules by the process called as spermiation. Thus, the correct answer is option D.
