Answer
Spermatogenesis is the development of sperm cells in the testes. It is the process wherein stem cells are developed to mature spermatozoa. Immature cells are derived from stem cells in the outer wall of the seminiferous tubules. These stem cells undergo mitosis wherein half of the new cells becomes the future sperm cell or the primary sperm cells and the other half remains as stem cell. The primary sperm cell attaches to Sertoli cells and will eventually divide into the secondary sperm cell. During the cell division, the secondary sperm cells obtain 23 chromosomes and matures. During maturation, changes in the shape and form take place and once matured, it is transported and stored in the testes.
