The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding spermiogenesis, let's analyze each option step by step: 1. **Understanding Spermiogenesis**: - Spermiogenesis is a specific phase in the process of spermatogenesis, which is the overall process of sperm formation. It involves the transformation of spermatids into mature spermatozoa. 2. **Evaluating Each Option**: - **(a) Spermatids change into spermatozoa**: This option describes the actual process of spermiogenesis. During spermiogenesis, spermatids undergo morphological changes to become spermatozoa (mature sperm). - **(b) Spermatogonia produce a spermatid**: This option describes an earlier stage in the process of spermatogenesis, not spermiogenesis. Spermatogonia are the initial germ cells that undergo mitosis and meiosis to eventually form spermatids. - **(c) Spermatocytes give rise to spermatozoa**: This option is also incorrect in the context of spermiogenesis. Spermatocytes undergo meiosis to produce spermatids, which then undergo spermiogenesis to become spermatozoa. - **(d) Dormant spermatozoa become active just before ejaculation**: This option does not describe spermiogenesis. It refers to the activation of spermatozoa, which is a different process. 3. **Conclusion**: - Based on the definitions and processes described, the correct answer is **(a) spermatids change into spermatozoa**. This accurately reflects the process of spermiogenesis. ### Final Answer: **(a) spermatids change into spermatozoa**
