spermatid

Examples of spermatid in the following topics:

• Spermatogenesis

  • Each primary spermatocyte divides into two secondary spermatocytes and each secondary spermatocyte into two spermatids or young spermatozoa.
  • Secondary spermatocytes later divide into haploid spermatids.
  • 2) Spermatidogenesis: The creation of spermatids from secondary spermatocytes.
  • Secondary spermatocytes produced earlier rapidly enter meiosis II and divide to produce haploid spermatids.
  • Spermatid DNA also undergoes packaging, becoming highly condensed.

• Gametogenesis (Spermatogenesis and Oogenesis)

  • The cell produced at the end of meiosis is called a spermatid.
  • During spermatogenesis, four sperm result from each primary spermatocyte, which divides into two haploid secondary spermatocytes; these cells will go through a second meiotic division to produce four spermatids.
