Production of sperm cell

Description:Joshua Anderson In this lesson, you'll learn the series of steps necessary to produce a fully functional sperm cell. You'll also look at the structure of a sperm cell and see how it's equipped to venture forth into new territory. Meiosis Spermatogenesis is the process by which the male gametes, called sperm, are created. Definition of spermatogenesis Now, you may recall that in order to create sperm that can combine with a female gamete, each sperm must be haploid and contain only one copy of each chromosome. You may also remember that in order to create haploid gametes, a cell must go through the process of meiosis, which involves replicating its genome and then dividing not once, but twice in order to create four haploid gametes from a single diploid cell.
