Sperm cells are produced in the testes through a process called spermatogenesis. Spermatogenesis involves the continuous production and maturation of sperm cells through several stages, including mitotic division, meiosis, and spermiogenesis. Spermatogonia undergo mitosis to produce primary spermatocytes, which then undergo meiosis I and meiosis II to generate haploid spermatids. These spermatids further mature into sperm cells through spermiogenesis, where they develop flagella and acrosomes for motility and fertilization.
