Statement II: Spermiogenesis is the process of formation of sperms from spermatogonia. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Options
- ABoth statement I and statement II are incorrect
- BStatement I is correct but statement II is incorrect
- CStatement I is incorrect but statement II is correct
- DBoth statement I and statement II are correct
Correct answer
D. Both statement I and statement II are correct
Step-by-step solution
Statement I: - Seminiferous tubules are the site of sperm production in testes. - Spermiation is the process of release of mature spermatozoa from the seminiferous tubules into the lumen of the tubules. - The released spermatozoa are transported through the rete testis, epididymis, and vas deferens to reach the urethra for ejaculation during sexual intercourse. Statement II: - Spermatogonia are the diploid cells that undergo meiosis to form haploid sperm cells. - Spermatogenesis is the process of sperm cell product
