Question

Which of the following statements correctly describes spermatogenesis?

• A. The process of formation of haploid spermatozoa from haploid spermatogonia inside the testes.
• B. The process of formation of haploid sperms from diploid spermatogonia inside the testes.
• C. The process of formation of haploid sperms from diploid spermatogonia inside the epididymis.
• D. The process of formation of haploid sperms from haploid spermatogonia inside the epididymis.

Answer 1

The correct option is B The process of formation of haploid sperms from diploid spermatogonia inside the testes.

Spermatogenesis is the process of formation of haploid sperms (spermatozoa) from diploid spermatogonia.

Spermatogonia are male germ cells present inside the seminiferous tubules of the testes.

Epididymis is an accessory duct in the reproductive system of males that stores the sperms produced inside the testes. The sperms undergo maturation in the epididymis.
