Spermiogenesis Flashcards
1
Q
The four spermatids remain interconnected by bridges of cytoplasm because
A
Cytokinesis (cytoplasmic division) is not completed in meiosis 1 or 2
2
Q
The bridges of cytoplasm assist in
A
Transferring nutrients and hormones between the cells, helping inshore that sells develop in synchrony.
3
Q
In spermiogenesis, the last step of spermatogenesis,
A
Each spermatid matures into a single spermatozoon, or sperm.
4
Q
Developing spermatocytes undergoing meiosis, and spermatids undergoing spermiogenesis are surrounded by
A
The cytoplasm of adjacent nurse cells.
5
Q
Spermiation
A
After spermatids develop into mature spermatozoa, a spermatozoon loses its attachment to the nurse cell and enters in to the lumen of the seminiferous tubule.
