Question

Given below are the differences between spermatogenesis and spermiogenesis. Select the incorrect option.

• A. Spermatogenesis - The process by which haploid spermatozoa develop from germ cells in the seminiferous tubules of the testis. Spermiogenesis - Spermiogenesis is the final stage of spermatogenesis, which sees the maturation of spermatids into mature, motile spermatozoa.
• B. Spermatogenesis - It changes a haploid structure into another haploid structure. Spermiogenesis - It involves conversion of diploid structure into haploid structure.
• C. Spermatogenesis - Growth and divisions occur Spermiogenesis - Divisions and growth are absent
• D. Spermatogenesis - A spermatogonium forms four spermatozoa Spermiogenesis - A spermatid forms a single spermatozoon

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Spermatogenesis - It changes a haploid structure into another haploid structure.

Spermiogenesis - It involves conversion of diploid structure into haploid structure.

Spermatogenesis involves conversion of a diploid structure (spermatogonia) into haploid structures (spermatozoa). Spermiogenesis changes a haploid structure (spermatid) into another haploid structure (spermatozoan).
