Primary spermatocytes are diploid
|
|
|
Spermatogonia are diploid
|
|
|
Spermatids are haploid
|
|
|
Secondary spermatocytes are diploid
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Through the process of spermatocytogenesis, both types of spermatocytes are formed. The primary spermatocyte has a diploid set of chromosomes, then it undergoes the process of division through meiosis I and forms two secondary spermatocytes. These secondary spermatocytes have a haploid set of chromosomes.
Detailed explanation-2: -Thus, secondary spermatocytes have 23 chromosomes. Secondary spermatocytes undergo a second meiotic division to form four spermatids (23). Spermatids undergo cell differentiation and produce sperms.
