The germ cell, technically called micro-spore mother cell undergoes meiosis to get the chromosome number halved. This process is called microsporogenesis. From haploid microspore the sperm originates by the process of microgametogenesis. These processes leading to the development of sperm are carried out in male reproductive organs.

The germ cell from which sperm arise is called a spermatogonium. Spermatogonia are diploid cells found in the testes that undergo a series of cell divisions, called spermatogenesis, to produce sperm cells.
