Best answer

Answer: 4. Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect

Key idea: Spermiation and spermiogenesis are different steps.

  • Statement I: spermiation is release of sperms from Sertoli cells into the lumen of the seminiferous tubules. Correct.
  • Statement II: spermiogenesis is the transformation of spermatids into sperms, not the formation of sperms from spermatogonia (that is spermatogenesis overall). Incorrect.

Answer: option 4.
