spermatocyte

The primary spermatocyte is initially diploid and undergoes meiosis.

The tail or "flagellum" executes the lashing movements that propel the spermatocyte.

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

A C-banded MII mouse spermatocyte is shown in Figure 2b.

Male gametocytes are called Spermatocyte and female gametocytes are called Oocytes.

Each primary spermatocyte gives rise by meiosis to two secondary spermatocytes, each of which in turn divides into two spermatids.

A spermatocyte is a male gametocyte, derived from a spermatogonium, which is in the developmental stage of spermatogenesis during which meiosis occurs.

Each primary spermatocyte duplicates its DNA and subsequently undergoes meiosis I to produce two haploid secondary spermatocytes.

Thus, the primary spermatocyte gives rise to two cells, the secondary spermatocytes, and the two secondary spermatocytes by their subdivision produce four spermatozoa.

The primary spermatocyte divides into two secondary spermatocytes; each secondary spermatocyte then divides into two spermatids.

One technique involves the picking up of spread cells from the surface of a saline or sucrose solution onto a slide and is generally used for spermatocyte spreading when an abundance of cells is available in suspension.

In ordinary animals, the other three nuclei (the polar bodies) degenerate-they never divide again and are lost or destroyed-and the oocyte is the single maternal cell that (after fusion with a single paternal cell, the spermatocyte) develops into the embryo.
