Question

Which is not true about spermatogenesis?

A) The process includes two meiotic divisions
B) The final stage of the process is called spermatogenesis
C) Mature spermatozoa are haploid (n=23)
D) The process takes place in the walls of the seminiferous tubules
E) Spermatogenesis begins at birth and continues throughout a man's life"

Answer 1

The incorrect statement about spermatogenesis is that the final stage is not called spermatogenesis, but rather spermiogenesis, which leads to the formation of mature spermatozoa.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement that is not true about spermatogenesis is B) The final stage of the process is called spermatogenesis. This statement is incorrect because spermatogenesis is the entire process, not the final stage. The final stage is called spermiogenesis, which transforms spermatids into mature spermatozoa.

Spermatogenesis includes one mitotic division and two meiotic divisions to produce haploid spermatozoa. The process takes place in the walls of the seminiferous tubules. In contrast to the incorrect statement, spermatogenesis does not begin at birth but rather at puberty, and it continues throughout a man's life.
