Spermatogenesis ________.
A) results in the formation of diploid cells
B) is the process of releasing mature sperm cells into the lumen of the seminiferous tubule
C) involves a kind of cell division limited to the gametes
D) uses mitosis to produce gamete cells

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Spermatogenesis involves meiosis, which is a type of cell division limited to gametes. It results in the formation of haploid sperm cells. Therefore, option A is incorrect. Mature sperm cells are released into the lumen of the seminiferous tubules during spermiogenesis, which is the final stage of spermatogenesis. Therefore, option B is incorrect. Finally, option D is incorrect because spermatogenesis involves meiosis, not mitosis.
