Question

Which cells are responsible for the nourishment of spermatids while they mature to produce sperms?

• A. Spermatogonia
• B. Mother cells
• C. Sertoli cells
• D. Leydig cells

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Sertoli cells

The primary spermatocytes undergo meiosis to produce haploid spermatids. These spermatids attach to Sertoli cells (also called as nurse cells) to get nourishment while they mature to produce functional sperms which are released via the process of spermiation.
