Solution

Spermatogenesis in mammalian testes is controlled by follicle stimulating hormones.

Explanation:

FSH influences the germinal epithelium of the seminiferous tubules to divide and produce sperm cells. This hormone initiates and regulates the process of spermatogenesis, starting from the multiplication of spermatogonia to the formation of spermatids and their transformation into spermatozoa. Other hormones, such as luteinizing hormone, mainly regulate testosterone production, but FSH directly controls sperm production.
