Best answer

(a) Gonadotropin releasing hormone/GnRH.

Process of spermatogenesis :

  • The spermatogonia (present on inside wall of seminiferous tubules) are diploid (2N).
  • Primary spermatocytes undergo Ist meiosis leading to formation of two equal haploid cells (N) called secondary spermatocyte.
  • The secondary spermatocytes undergo the second meiotic division to form 4 equal haploid (N) Spermatids.
  • Now spermatids transform into spermatozoa (N)

Correct diagram :

(i) Tail
