Question

Are round spermatids and secondary spermatocytes haploid or diploid?

Answer 1

Spermatids and spermatocytes

1. Spermatids are immature, undifferentiated haploid male gametes.
2. Spermatocyte is a cell produced at the second stage in the formation of spermatozoa, formed from a spermatogonium and dividing by meiosis into spermatids
3. Spermatids and spermatocytes are haploid.
4. Haploid refers to the presence of a single set of chromosomes in a cell.
5. The only difference is that secondary spermatocytes contain duplicated chromosomes having two chromatids each whereas spermatids contain chromosomes with one chromatid only.
