Hint:

Spermatogenesis is regulated by hormones like FSH, LH, and testosterone.

Answer 1

Process: Spermatogenesis. Description: Spermatogenesis is the process of formation of sperm cells (spermatozoa) from the spermatogonial cells in the seminiferous tubules of the testes. It includes the following stages: Multiplication Phase: Mitotic division of spermatogonia to produce primary spermatocytes. Growth Phase: Enlargement of primary spermatocytes. Maturation Phase: Meiosis to produce haploid spermatids from secondary spermatocytes. Differentiation Phase: Spermatids transform into spermatozoa.
