The difference between spermiogenesis and spermiation is:

1. In spermiogenesis spermatids are formed, while in spermiation spermatozoa are formed.
2. In spermiogenesis spermatozoa are formed, while in spermiation spermatids are formed.
3. In spermiogenesis spermatozoa are formed, while in spermiation spermatozoa are released from sertoli cells into the cavity of seminiferous tubules.
4. In spermiogenesis spermatozoa from sertoli cells are released into the cavity of seminiferous tubules, while in spermiation spermatozoa are formed.

Correct answer: In spermiogenesis spermatozoa are formed, while in spermiation spermatozoa are released from sertoli cells into the cavity of seminiferous tubules.

Solution

Spermiogenesis is the transformation of spermatids into mature spermatozoa. Spermiation is the final release of those spermatozoa from Sertoli cells into the lumen of the seminiferous tubules.
