Generation of the male gamete; specialised haploid cells produced by meiosis and along with a female gamete takes part in sexual reproduction. The multiplication or reproduction of cells, resulting in the expansion of a cell population. A process, occurring at the cellular level, that is involved in the reproductive function of a multicellular or single-celled organism. The mitotic divisions of the primary spermatogonial cell (a primordial male germ cell) to form a cyst of secondary spermatogonia (primary spermatocytes). The process of formation of spermatozoa, including spermatocytogenesis and spermiogenesis. Formation of a cluster of germ-line cells derived from a single founder cell. The process whose specific outcome is the progression of an immature germ cell over time, from its formation to the mature structure (gamete). A germ cell is any reproductive cell in a multicellular organism. Formation of a cluster of germ-line cells, in the male gonad of an insect, derived from a single founder cell (cystoblast). The meiotic divisions undergone by the primary and secondary spermatocytes to produce a cyst of haploid spermatids.
