Conversion of spermatids into sperm is:
Correct answer: A. Spermiogenesis
- A. Spermiogenesis
- B. Metamorphosis
- C. Spermatogenesis
- D. Gametogenesis
Explanation
The correct answer is a) Spermiogenesis. Spermiogenesis is the process by which round, non-motile spermatids (immature male germ cells) are transformed into mature, motile spermatozoa (sperm). During spermiogenesis, the spermatids undergo significant structural changes, including the formation of a tail (flagellum) and the reduction of excess cytoplasm. This process allows the spermatids to become fully functional sperm capable of swimming and fertilizing an egg.
