Answer: Spermatogenesis is the process through which males produce sperm from immature germ cells. It takes place inside the testes, in seminiferous tubules. A diploid spermatogonium (male germ cell) grows larger during spermatogenesis to create a diploid primary spermatocyte.

The process of sperm production is known as spermatogenesis. It is found in the testis of male gonads. Many seminiferous tubules bordered by germinal epithelium make up the testes. In the steps below, cells in this layer divide to become spermatozoa:

(1) Multiplication Phase: When primordial germ cells reach maturity, they divide by mitosis to form a high number of spermatogonia. The stem cells that divide to generate spermatogonia are known as type A spermatogonia. Spermatogonia of type B are sperm precursors.

(2) Spermatogonium Type B actively grows to a primary spermatocyte during the growth phase. It gets its food from the nursing cells.

(3) Maturation Phase: Each initial spermatocyte goes through two stages of maturation. The initial maturation division is reductional, resulting in the formation of two haploid secondary spermatocytes. The second maturation division of both secondary spermatocytes results in the formation of four haploid spermatids.

(4) Spermiogenesis refers to the process of a spermatid becoming a spermatozoan. Sperms are the result of the spermatozoa. The Golgi apparatus, which contains proteolytic enzymes, becomes the acrosome cap, and the four spermatids create the sperm head.
