haploid (one set of chromosomes) germ cell resulting from the second meiotic division of spermatogenesis which will then differentiate into spermatozoa.
The four products of meiosis in males that develop into sperm.
The product of the spermatocyte in the testis when it has completed meiosis (by which the number of chromosomes is halved, so it's in the haploid state), and also enclosed in the testicular tubules by the Sertoli cells. Early spermatids are round-shaped, whereas late spermatids closely resemble mature spermatozoa. See also: spermiogenesis
an immature gamete produced by a spermatocyte; develops into a spermatozoon
a round, immature sperm cell containing 23 chromosomes present near the lumen of the seminiferous (intratesticular)tubules-these cells are transformed into mature sperm by condensation of the nucleus, addition of the acrosomal cap, addition of the sperm tail and loss of cytoplasm
Gr. spermatos - seed, semen]. Haploid cell in male testes, formed from spermatocyte by meiosis and will differentiate into a spermatozoon.
The term spermatid refers to 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.
