  2. Spermatogenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spermatogenesis

    The process of spermatogenesis as the cells progress from primary spermatocytes, to secondary spermatocytes, to spermatids, to Sperm Cycle of the seminiferous epithelium of the testis Spermatocytogenesis is the male form of gametocytogenesis and results in the formation of spermatocytes possessing half the normal complement of genetic material.

  3. Androgenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Androgenesis

    Androgenesis is a system of asexual reproduction that requires the presence of eggs and occurs when a zygote is produced with only paternal nuclear genes.During standard sexual reproduction, one female parent and one male parent each produce haploid gametes (such as a sperm or egg cell, each containing only a single set of chromosomes), which recombine to create offspring with genetic material ...

  4. Spermiogenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spermiogenesis

    Sperm Spermiogenesis is the final stage of spermatogenesis , during which the spermatids develop into mature spermatozoa . At the beginning of the stage, the spermatid is a more or less circular cell containing a nucleus , Golgi apparatus , centriole and mitochondria ; by the end of the process, it has radically transformed into an elongated ...

  5. Spermatogonium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spermatogonium

    Type A (dark) cells, with dark nuclei. These cells are reserve spermatogonial stem cells which do not usually undergo active mitosis. Type A (pale) cells, with pale nuclei. These are the spermatogonial stem cells that undergo active mitosis. These cells divide to produce Type B cells. Type B cells, which undergo growth and become primary ...

  6. Spermatocyte - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spermatocyte

    Spermatogonia going through mitosis to form primary spermatocytes in Grasshopper testes. Spermatocytogenesis. At puberty, spermatogonia located along the walls of the seminiferous tubules within the testis will be initiated and start to divide mitotically, forming two types of A cells that contain an oval shaped nucleus with a nucleolus attached to the nuclear envelope; one is dark (Ad) and ...

  7. Reproductive biology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reproductive_biology

    Spermatogenesis is the production of sperm cells in the testis. In mature testes primordial germ cells divide mitotically to form the spermatogonia, which in turn generate spermatocytes by mitosis. [10] Then each spermatocyte gives rise to four spermatids through meiosis. [10] Spermatids are now haploid and undergo differentiation into sperm ...

  8. Male reproductive system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Male_reproductive_system

    The testicles are two gonads that produce sperm by meiotic division of germ cells within the seminiferous tubules, [1] and synthesize and secrete androgens that regulate the male reproductive functions. The site of production of androgens is the Leydig cells that are located in the interstitium between seminiferous tubules. [1]

  9. Testicle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Testicle

    Its primary functions are the production of sperm and the secretion of androgens, primarily testosterone. The release of testosterone is regulated by luteinizing hormone (LH) from the anterior pituitary gland .
