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), forming two equal, haploid cells called secondary spermatocytes.
These secondary spermatocytes then undergo the second meiotic division to produce four haploid spermatids.
