Students have asked these similar questions

Sexual differentiation begins close to 4 weeks after fertilization, but cannot be seen visually until about 6 weeks post fertilization. All fetuses begin with a ______________________ gonad that is able to become either ovaries or testes, depending on the presence or absence of the Y chromosome. If the Y chromosome is present, a region of the Y chromosome will begin expressing genes that start the process of masculinization of internal structures. This region is known as the ______________________________ region or ___________ for short. The expression of these genes causes the bipotential gonad to develop into the testes. Once the testes have started developing, two hormones, testosterone and Anti-MüllerianHormone are produced. Testosterone causes the _____________________ ducts to develop into the _____________________. Testosterone also causes the internal development of the __________________ and __________________. Anti-Müllerian Hormone causes the ______________________ ducts…

TRUE OR FALSE: Primary spermatocytes are diploid in number like spermatogonia. Secondary spermatocytes are haploid in number.

TRUE OR FALSE: Spermatogenesis is the final stage of reproductive cell division by which there is the development of haploid spermatids into sperm while spermiation is the event by which sperm are released from their connections to Sertoli cells.
