Solution
Transfer of major part of cytoplasm during Spermatogenesis:
Spermatogenesis is the process of producing sperms from the immature germ cells of males.
In seminiferous tubules, it takes place inside the testes.
A diploid spermatogonium grows larger during spermatogenesis to create a diploid primary spermatocyte.
A considerable part of spermatid cytoplasm, made up of organelles not required by spermatozoa, is left behind before spermiation.
The leftover spermatid cytoplasm is phagocytized, transported to a basal position, and degraded by Sertoli cells to generate these Regaud residual entities.
