Among the stages of development in sperm and ovum, which specific phase in sperm development lacks an equivalent counterpart in ovum development?

Option: 1

Generation of polar bodies


Option: 2

Phase of multiplication


Option: 3

Spermiogenesis


Option: 4

Phase of growth


Answers (1)

Spermiogenesis refers to the process of sperm maturation, during which the spermatids undergo structural and functional changes to become fully mature spermatozoa. This phase involves the formation of the acrosome, elongation of the sperm tail, and shedding of excess cytoplasm.

In contrast, the development of an ovum does not have an exact counterpart to spermiogenesis. While oogenesis involves several distinct stages, including meiosis and the formation of polar bodies, there is no specific phase that corresponds directly to the process of spermiogenesis in sperm development.

Therefore, Option 3 is the correct answer as it identifies the phase in sperm development that lacks an equivalent counterpart in ovum development.
