In the process of meiosis, what is spermiogenesis?
A
The formation of sperm cells from spermatids.
B
The division of a diploid cell into two haploid cells.
C
The exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes.
D
The pairing of homologous chromosomes during prophase I.
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half, creating four haploid cells from one diploid cell.
Recognize that spermiogenesis is a specific part of the process of spermatogenesis, which is the development of sperm cells.
Identify that spermiogenesis refers to the transformation of spermatids into mature sperm cells, involving changes such as the development of a flagellum and condensation of nuclear material.
Differentiate spermiogenesis from other stages of meiosis, such as the division of diploid cells into haploid cells, which occurs earlier in the process.
Clarify that spermiogenesis does not involve the exchange of genetic material or the pairing of homologous chromosomes, which are processes associated with earlier stages of meiosis.
