Which Process Streamlines Spermatids into Sperm

Question

Which process streamlines spermatids into sperm?
A) mitosis
B) spermiogenesis
C) oogenesis
D) spermatogenesis

Accepted Answer

Spermiogenesis is the process by which spermatids, which are haploid cells resulting from meiosis in the testes, are transformed into mature, functional spermatozoa. This process involves a series of morphological changes that streamline and differentiate the spermatids into sperm, including the development of the acrosome, flagellum, and other structures necessary for fertilization. Mitosis is a cell division process that creates two identical copies of a cell, while oogenesis is the process by which ova, or egg cells, are produced in the ovaries. Spermatogenesis encompasses the entire process of sperm cell formation, including both meiosis and spermiogenesis.
