Question

Sperms develop from germ cells in the seminiferous tubules of the testis at ________ .

• A. 39 degree celsius
• B. 37 degree celsius
• C. 35 degree celsius
• D. 40 degree celsius

Answer 1

The correct option is C

35 degree celsius

Spermatogenesis is the process in which spermatozoa are produced from spermatogonial stem cells by way of mitosis and meiosis. Sperm production happens in the testes. But spermatogenesis cannot occur at internal body temperatures. It needs a temperature around 2 to 2.5 degree celsius lower than the normal body temperature, i.e., around 35 degree celsius.
