QUESTION
The process of transformation of spermatids into spermatozoa is called as?
OPTIONS
(A) Spermatogenesis
(B) Spermiogenesis
(C) Gametogenesis
(D) Spermatocytogenesis
ANSWER
(B) Spermiogenesis
EXPLANATION
Spermiogenesis is the correct option because spermiogenesis is the differentiation and transformation of haploid spermatids into mature spermatozoa, including nuclear condensation, acrosome formation and development of the flagellum. Spermatogenesis includes the entire process of sperm production, gametogenesis is the broader formation of gametes, and spermatocytogenesis concerns earlier germ-cell proliferation and differentiation.
