What is the difference between secondary spermatocyte and spermatid?


Open in App
Solution

Secondary spermatocyte:

Secondary spermatocytes are the second in a series of developmental changes during sperm production.

Spermatid:

The spermatid is the haploid male gametes that result from the division of secondary spermatocytes.

Differences between secondary spermatocyte and spermatid:

Secondary spermatocyteSpermatids
1.After meiosis II the secondary spermatocyte gives rise to spermatid.1.Spermatids contain only one chromatin after they get separated into the anaphase II of meiosis II.
2. Secondary spermatocyte contains duplicated chromosomes with two chromatids2. Spermatids transform into spermatozoa or sperm.
3. Each secondary spermatocyte divides into two equal haploid spermatids by meiosis II.3. Spermatids are haploid cells formed after meiosis in the spermatocytes.
