Question

Which of the following occurs after a spermatogonium completes cell division?

A) The daughter cell is directed toward the lumen of the seminiferous tubule.
B) Spermiogenesis begins.
C) Gamete production accelerates.
D) Mature spermatozoa enter the lumen.
E) Fusion of diploid nuclei occurs.

Answer 1

Mature spermatozoa enter the lumen of seminiferous tubules after a spermatogonium completes cell division and undergoes spermiogenesis.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is D) Mature spermatozoa enter the lumen. Spermatogenesis is the process of sperm production that occurs in the seminiferous tubules. After a spermatogonium completes cell division and undergoes meiosis, it becomes a spermatid. Spermatids then undergo spermiogenesis, a process of maturation where they develop into fully functional spermatozoa. These mature spermatozoa will eventually enter the lumen of the seminiferous tubules and be released during ejaculation.
