spermatid

However, it fills the purpose as the female counterpart of the male spermatid in spermatogenesis.

The spermatid is the haploid male gametid that results from division of secondary spermatocytes.

As a result of meiosis, each spermatid contains only half of the genetic material present in the original primary spermatocyte.

The spermatid is more or less circular cell containing a nucleus, Golgi apparatus, centriole and mitochondria.

During metazoan spermiogenesis, the spermatid's chromatin is remodelled into a more spaced-packaged, widened, almost crystal-like structure.

Each cell division from a spermatogonium to a spermatid is incomplete; the cells remain connected to one another by bridges of cytoplasm to allow synchronous development.

Expression of CRMPs-1, -4, and -5 in the adult testis is detected only in the cell spermatid stage and CRMP-2 mRNA is found in lung tissue of the fetal mouse and adult human.
