What is the correct sequence of sperm formation?
Correct order of spermatogenesis is
In testis, the immature male germ cells (spermatogonia) produce sperms by spermatogenesis, that begins at puberty. The spermatogonia (singular spermatogonium) present on the inside wall of seminiferous tubules, multiply by mitotic division and increase in numbers. Each spermatogonium is called as primary spermatocytes periodically undergo first meiotic division (reduction division) and produces two equal, haploid cells, called secondary spermatocytes, which have only 23 chromosomes each. The secondary spermatocytes undergo the second meiotic division to produce four equal, haploid spermatids. The spermatids are then transformed into spermatozoa (sperms) by the process called spermiogenesis. After spermiogenesis, mature sperms are finally released from the seminiferous tubules by the process called as spermiation. Thus, the correct answer is option D.
What is the correct sequence of sperm formation?
Define spermiogenesis and spermiation.
In humans, at the end of the fist meiotic division, the male germ cells differentiate into the _______________.
2n = 16 is in a Primary spermatocyte which is in metaphase of first meiotic division. What shall be the total number of chromatids in each of the secondary spermatocyte?
How many sperms do produce from 4 primary spermatocytes?
The process of release of spermatozoa from Sertoli cells into cavity of the seminiferous tubules is called
The correct sequence of spermatogenetic stages leading to the formation of sperms in a mature human testis is
