Practice question
Question
For studying insect spermatogenesis process, which target organ needs to be focused
Explanation
Spermatogenesis occurs within testes of male reproductive system. Follicles contain germline stem cells undergoing mitosis, meiosis and spermiogenesis within cysts supported by somatic cells. Therefore male gonads are targeted for staging, chromosome spreads and transcriptomic analysis, not female organs or excretory tubules.
