Question

Spermiogenesis/spermateleosis is formation of spermatozoa from

• A. Primary spermatocyte
• B. Secondary spermatocyte
• C. Spermatids
• D. Germinal cells of testes

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Spermatids

Spermiogenesis/spermateleosis is formation of spermatozoa from spermatids. It is the last stage of spermatogenesis. It occurs in testis and begins at puberty. The spermatids are transformed into spermatozoa by the process of metamorphosis. Spermatozoa are also known as sperms. After spermiogenesis, the sperm heads become embedded in the Sertoli cells, and are finally released from the seminiferous tubules by the process called spermiation.
