The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks about the process involved in the production of sperm from spermatids. 2. **Identifying the Correct Term**: The process of transforming spermatids into mature sperm is specifically called **spermiogenesis**. 3. **Distinguishing Related Terms**: It's important to differentiate between related terms: - **Spermatogenesis**: This is the overall process of sperm production, which includes several stages: spermatogonia (stem cells) develop into primary spermatocytes, which then undergo meiosis to form secondary spermatocytes and eventually spermatids. - **Spermiogenesis**: This is the final stage of spermatogenesis where spermatids undergo transformation into mature spermatozoa (sperm). - **Oogenesis**: This refers to the formation of ova (egg cells) in females and is not relevant to this question. - **Gametogenesis**: This is a broader term that encompasses the formation of both sperm and eggs but does not specifically refer to the transformation of spermatids. 4. **Location of the Process**: Spermiogenesis occurs in the **testes**, specifically within the seminiferous tubules where spermatogenesis takes place. 5. **Timing of the Process**: Spermiogenesis begins at **puberty**, marking the onset of male fertility. 6. **Final Transformation**: During spermiogenesis, spermatids undergo a metamorphosis where they develop tails and lose excess cytoplasm, becoming streamlined sperm cells. 7. **Release of Sperm**: After spermiogenesis, the mature sperm are embedded in Sertoli cells and are finally released into the lumen of the seminiferous tubules through a process known as **spermiation**. ### Final Answer: The production of sperm from spermatids is called **spermiogenesis**. ---
