NCERT Extract:
Gametogenesis – “… The secondary spermatocytes undergo the second meiotic division to produce four equal, haploid spermatids (Figure 2.5). … The spermatids are transformed into spermatozoa (sperms) by the process called spermiogenesis. After spermiogenesis, sperm heads become embedded in the Sertoli cells, and are finally released from the seminiferous tubules by the process called spermiation.”
