MCQ
Sperm cells are produced in:
- ASeminiferous tubules
- BInterstitial cells
- CEpididmymis
- DProstate gland
Explanation:
Seminiferous tubules are functional unit of testes where spermatogenesis takes place.
The seminiferous tubules are horse-shoe shaped tubules and opens into testis.
There are about 600 seminiferous tubules.
Each tubules is lined by an epithelium called seminiferous epithelium.
It is a complex epithelium consisting of two types of cells as sustentacular cells of Sertoli and spermatogenic cells.
Sertoli cells are supportive cells (provide nutrition to the developing sperms) while spermatogenic cells are germ cells.
Interstitial cells lie between the seminiferous tubules and produces testosterone.

$I.$ DNA being a hydrophilic molecule cannot pass through cell membranes
$II.$ Agrobacteriumtumefaciens delivers a piece of $DNA$ known as $'Z-DNA'$ in the Tiplasmid which transforms normal plant cells into tumour cells to produce chemical against pathogens
$III.$ Retrovirus, adenovirus, papillomavirus are also now used as cloning vectors in animal because of their ability to transform normal cells into cancerous cell.
$IV.$ In genetic engineering, $DNA$ from different sources are cut with the same restriction enzymes so that both $DNA$ fragments have same kind of sticky ends
