Question

Where does in the human male spermatogenesis occur?

• A. Ovaries
• B. Testes
• C. Epididymis
• D. Prostate gland

Answer 1

The correct option is B Testes

Spermatogenesis is the process by which haploid spermatozoa develop from germ cells in the seminiferous tubules of the testis. This process starts with the mitotic division of the stem cells located close to the basement membrane of the tubules. These cells are called spermatogonial stem cells. The mitotic division of these produces two types of cells. The primary spermatocyte divides meiotically (Meiosis I) into two secondary spermatocytes; each secondary spermatocyte divides into two equal haploid spermatids by Meiosis II.

So the correct option is 'testes'.
