Spermatids are transformed into spermatozoa by the process of: Correct Answer Spermiogenesis

Concept:

  • Sperm is the male gamete. The sperm unites with (fertilizes) an ovum (egg) of the female to produce a new offspring.
  • Spermatids is haploid cells formed by meiotic division of spermatocytes and develops into a spermatozoon after maturational events.

Explanation:

  • Spermiation is the process by which the mature sperms are released from Sertoli cells.
  • Spermiogenesis is the final stage of spermatogenesis, in which spermatids are transformed in the form of mobile spermatozoa.
  • Spermatogenesis is the process of the production of sperms from the immature male germ cells.
  • Spermatosis is not a valid term used for any step.

Additional Information

  • The process of formation of sperms is called spermatogenesis. It involves 3 phases:
  1. In the multiplication phase, male germ cells also called spermatogonia, which undergo mitotic divisions to form a large number of spermatogonia.
  2. In the growth phase, spermatogonia prepare for meiotic division by increasing their size and called as primary spermatocytes (46 chromosomes).
  3. In the maturation phase, primary spermatocyte undergoes the first meiotic division and produce 4 haploid cells called secondary spermatocytes (23 chromosomes), which after the second meiotic division produces four equal, haploid spermatids.
