Difference in between Spermatogenesis and Spermiogenes

Spermatogenesis and Spermiogenes

Spermatogenesis and spermiogenesis are two stages that occur during the formation of the male gametes i.e. the sperms. The main difference between spermatogenesis and spermiogenesis is that spermatogenesis is the term given to the complete process of formation of sperm cells whereas spermiogenesis is the final step of spermatogenesis. In spermiogenesis, maturation of the spermatids into sperm cells occur. This means spermatogenesis is the complete process of the production of the sperm cells from the cells of the germinal epithelium of testes in males. Spermiogenesis, on the other hand, is the final differentiation and maturation process of the spermatids into sperm cells.
