Statement II: Androgens stimulate the process of spermiogenesis. Statement III: Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) acts on Sertoli cells present inside the seminiferous tubules. Statement IV: Factors se
Options
- AOnly one
- BOnly three
- COnly two
- DAll four
Correct answer
C. Only two
Step-by-step solution
Statement I is correct: Leydig cells are located in the interstitial spaces outside the seminiferous tubules, and LH acts on them to stimulate androgen synthesis. Statement II is incorrect: Androgens stimulate the process of spermatogenesis, not spermiogenesis. Statement III is correct: Sertoli cells are located inside the seminiferous tubules, and FSH acts on them. Statement IV is incorrect: Factors that help in spermiogenesis (transformation of spermatids into spermatozoa) are secreted by Sertoli cells, not Leydi
