The process of producing sperm cells is called spermatogenesis. Sperm production begins before puberty through the increase in the number of precursor cells called spermatogonia. They in turn double in number through mitotic cell division and become primary and secondary spermatocytes. Then through two stages of cellular division called meiosis, the primary spermatocytes become 4 spermatids, which then further develop into spermatozoa, or sperm.
With regard to the cellular divisions involved, mitosis maintains the same number of chromosomes (46 in humans) in the nucleus of the resulting twin daughter cells after division, whereas in meiosis, the four resulting daughter cells have only 23 chromosomes each.

What age night falls in boys starts?
"Night Falls" are better known as "Nocturnal Emissions" or "Wet Dreams". The occur most often in boys, starting in puberty after they start producing sperm. Thus, there is no specific age as this occurs differently for each boy. Depending on how quickly the boy is developing, he can start producing sperm as early as 9 or 10 years old, or it may be delayed until age 15 or sixteen. With such a wide variation in normal development, it is difficult to say exactly when this will occur for you. Nocturnal emissions are usually associated with erotic, sexy dreams, and are the body's way of ridding itself of excess sperm or semen. When a boy grows into an adult, and becomes sexually active, then nocturnal emissions become far less frequent. Boys who masturbate regularly will sometimes report a reduction in the frequency of wet dreams.
