In humans, at the end of the first meiotic division, the male germ cells differentiate into the:
- secondary spermatocytes
- spermatogonia
- primary spermatocytes
- spermatids
Answer
(1) secondary spermatocytes
Solution
As per NCERT, some spermatogonia (2n) called primary spermatocytes periodically undergo meiosis.
⇒ A primary spermatocyte completes the first meiotic division (reduction division) leading to the formation of two equal, haploid cells called secondary spermatocytes.
⇒ The secondary spermatocytes undergo the second meiotic division to produce four haploid spermatids.
