The process of spermatogenesis occurs in which part of the male reproductive system?
Correct answer: A. Seminiferous tubules
- A. Seminiferous tubules
- B. Vas deferens
- C. Scrotum
- D. Epididymis
Explanation
The germinal epithelium lining the seminiferous tubules divides by mitosis and then meiosis to produce spermatids, which mature into spermatozoa. The epididymis stores sperm and gives them motility after they leave the testis, so it is the closest distractor but hosts no division. The scrotum is the sac holding the testes, keeping them a few degrees below core temperature.
