Spermatogenesis -

- it is a process by which sperms get produced in male body. It took place in seminiferous tubules.

- At initial stage sperms are spermatogonium stem cell. Then they further get differentiated into primary spermatocytes via mitosis.

- after that primary spermatocytes gets differentiated into secondary spermatocytes via meiosis I.

- then meiosis II occurs which convert secondary spermatocytes into spermatids.

- spermatids get evolved and developed into spermatozoa or mature sperms via process called spermiogenesis.

Give thumbs up if you feel its helpful. Do comments for any query.
