The correct answer is Genesis of spermatozoan from spermatid.

Explanation:

  • Spermiogenesis refers to the process during which spermatids (immature male gametes) mature into spermatozoa (functional and motile sperm cells).
  • During spermiogenesis, spermatids undergo several morphological changes, such as condensation of the nucleus, formation of the acrosome, development of the flagellum, and shedding of excess cytoplasm, to become streamlined and motile spermatozoa.
  • This is the final stage of spermatogenesis, which is the overall process of sperm production occurring in the seminiferous tubules of the testes.

​ Additional Information

  • Spermatogenesis is the process of sperm formation, which occurs in the seminiferous tubules of the testes.
  • This process involves several stages, including the transformation of spermatogonia into spermatocytes, which then develop into spermatids, and finally mature into spermatozoa (sperms).
  • Spermiation: Spermiation is the process where mature spermatozoa are released from the Sertoli cells into the lumen of the seminiferous tubules in the testes. This marks the final step in the maturation and eventual release of sperm cells.
