  4. Spermatogonia, Spermatocyte, Spermatid, Spermatozoa

Solution

Spermatogonia $\rightarrow$ Spermatocyte $\rightarrow$ Spermatid $\rightarrow$ Spermatozoa Spermatogonia are present on the inside wall of seminiferous tubule multiplied by mitotic division and increase in number.

The spermatids are transformed into spermatozoa (sperm).
