Question

Conversion of spermatids to spermatozoa involves cell division.
a. True
b. False

Answer 1

Conversion of spermatids to spermatozoa is a transformation process called spermiogenesis and does not involve cell division, therefore, the statement is false.

Step-by-step explanation:

The conversion of spermatids to spermatozoa does not involve cell division but a process called spermiogenesis. Spermiogenesis is the final stage of spermatogenesis, during which spermatids undergo physical changes to become mature spermatozoa. This transformation includes reducing the cytoplasm, beginning the formation of the parts of a true sperm such as developing a tail (flagellum) and compacting the head to streamline the cell for mobility. Despite these changes, there is no division of the spermatid cells, hence the statement is false.

Answer 2

The correct answer will be option-False.

Step-by-step explanation:

Spermatogenesis or formation of sperm cells in humans takes place in two stages: cellular division called "spermatocytogenesis" and metamorphic changes in spermatids to spermatozoa called "Spermiogenesis".

The mitotic and meiotic cellular division produces round spermatids which undergo much physical change during the process called Spermiogenesis. During Spermiogenesis spermatids modify themselves for fertilization like acrosome cap formation, tail development and nuclear condensation.

Thus, option-false is the correct answer.
