What is spermiogenesis?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Definition of Spermiogenesis**: Spermiogenesis is a specific stage in the process of spermatogenesis, which is the formation of sperm cells. 2. **Transformation of Spermatids**: During spermiogenesis, inactive spermatids undergo transformation into active and motile spermatozoa. This process is essential for the development of functional sperm. 3. **Alternative Name**: Spermiogenesis is also referred to as spermateliosis or spermatid metamorphosis, highlighting the significant changes that occur in the spermatids. ...
