Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Spermatogenesis takes place in an environment different from that of the mitotic cell divisions that precede it, as it occurs in the seminiferous tubules of the testes. Additionally, spermatogenesis requires the participation of Sertoli cells, which are necessary for the development, nourishment, and protection of the developing sperm cells. Spermatogenesis takes approximately three weeks in humans, allowing for the maturation of the primary spermatocyte, secondary spermatocyte, and spermatids into mature, motile spermatozoa. Therefore, both choice B and choice C are correct.
