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 else can I help you with?
Was Michael Jackson infertile?

What color skin does a girl snail have?

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.

How is a sperm cell produced?
You don't want to know. ( He,he!) Sperm cells are are produced in specialised tissue called the germinal epithelium. During puberty, hormones stimulate the sperm cells to become active. The process for producing sperm cells is called spermatogenesis.
How old do you have to be to be a dad?
Once you start producing sperm, you can be a dad. Males usually start producing sperm in their teenager years.
Why does the sperm has an energy producing structure?
The structures in the sperm that provide energy are known as mitochondria. They have a main function of producing motility for the human sperm.
What process is responsible for producing the 2N zygote?
The process responsible for producing the 2N zygote is fertilization, where a sperm cell (1N) from the male fuses with an egg cell (1N) from the female, resulting in a zygote with a complete set of chromosomes (2N).
How cell replication?
Cells replicate for many reasons, they replicate by a process of mitosis or meiosis. Mitosis producing two daughter cells and meiosis producing gamete cells (sperm or ovum(egg) )
What structures produces male gametes in humans?
The testes are responsible for producing male gametes, which are sperm cells. Sperm production occurs within the seminiferous tubules of the testes through a process called spermatogenesis.
What produces male gametes in large numbers?
The testes are responsible for producing male gametes, called sperm. Sperm are produced in large numbers through the process of spermatogenesis in the seminiferous tubules of the testes.
What part of the male reproductive system is responsible for producing sperm cells?
The testes are responsible for producing sperm cells in the male reproductive system.
