Question

Which of the following is true for spermiogenesis?

• A. Spermatids are transformed into sperms in this process
• B. Sperms are released from the seminiferous tubules in this process
• C. Spermatogenesis is one of the steps in spermiogenesis
• D. It is the process of formation of male germ cells

Answer 1

The correct option is A Spermatids are transformed into sperms in this process

In testis, the immature male germ cells (spermatogonia) produce sperms by spermatogenesis that begins at puberty. The spermatids are transformed into spermatozoa (sperms) by the process called spermiogenesis. After spermiogenesis, sperm heads become embedded in the Sertoli cells, and are finally released from the seminiferous tubules by the process called spermiation.
