Question

Which of the following options correctly depicts the stages in correct order leading to the formation of sperms in mammalian testes?

• A. Spermatogonia → Spermatid → Spermatocyte → Sperms
• B. Spermatocyte → Spermatogonia → Spermatid → Sperms
• C. Spermatogonia → Spermatocyte → Spermatid → Sperms
• D. Spermatid → Spermatocyte → Spermatogonia → Sperms

Answer 1

The correct option is C Spermatogonia → Spermatocyte → Spermatid → Sperms

The spermatogonia are sperm mother cells which divide mitotically and increase in number. Some of them differentiate into primary spermatocytes which undergo meiosis and form into spermatids.

These spermatids undergo differentiation and transform into spermatozoa by the process of spermiogenesis which are then released from the seminiferous tubules by the process of spermiation.
