Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Approximately how many sperm cells are produced by each testicle daily by a mature male?
A
5, 000
B
1
C
85 million
D
123, 685
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Of the 40 to 300 hundred million sperm produced by the male, only one gets to do its job.

Detailed explanation-2: -By the end of a full sperm production cycle, you can regenerate up to 8 billion sperm. This may seem like overkill, but you release anywhere from 20 to 300 million sperm cells in a single milliliter of semen. Your body maintains a surplus to ensure there’s a fresh supply for conception.

Detailed explanation-3: -Whereas in human females the total pool of oocytes is produced before birth, in males new germ cells enter meiosis continually from the time of sexual maturation, with each diploid primary spermatocyte giving rise to four haploid mature sperm.
