Question

Where do spermatids mature?


Open in App
Solution

Spermatids:

The primary spermatocytes go through the first meiotic division to produce a pair of spermatocytes to complete meiosis and produce the second division of spermatids.

Maturation of spermatids:

  1. The development of spermatids into spermatozoa is known as spermiogenesis.
  2. The nucleus, Golgi body, and mitochondria are found in the spermatids, which have a more rounded shape.
  3. The process of creating spermatids from the earliest germ cells is known as spermatogenesis.
  4. The release of fully developed spermatids from Sertoli cells is known as spermiation.
  5. Sperms are produced in testes, but the epididymis is where they are matured and stored.
