Q. The difference between spermiogenesis and spermiation is :
(a) In spermiogenesis spermatids are formed, while in spermiation spermatozoa are formed.
(b) In spermiogenesis spermatozoa are formed , while in spermiation spermatids are formed.
(c) In spermiogenesis spermatoza from sertoli cells are released in the cavity of seminiferous tubules , while in spermiation spermatozoa are formed.
(d) In spermiogenesis spermatozoa are formed , while in spermiation spermatozoa are released from sertoli cells in to the cavity of seminiferous tubules.
Solution :
Correct option : D Spermiation is the release of spermatids from the Sertoli cells into the seminiferous tubules. This is followed by spermiogenesis which is release of spermatozoa or mature sperms. This is the last step of spermatogenesis.
