Secondary spermatocytes are haploid ( N ) cells that contain 23 chromosomes.
2.
Each secondary spermatocyte will form two spermatids after Meiosis II.
3.
After Meiosis I, two secondary spermatocytes are formed.
4.
There are two types of spermatocytes, primary and secondary spermatocytes ( Figure 1 ).
5.
Primary and secondary spermatocytes are formed through the process of spermatocytogenesis ( Figure 3 ).
6.
Spermatocytogenesis is the male form of secondary spermatocytes, which will later divide once more into haploid spermatids.
7.
Thus, the primary spermatocyte gives rise to two cells, the secondary spermatocytes, and the two secondary spermatocytes by their subdivision produce four spermatozoa.

Thus, the primary spermatocyte gives rise to two cells, the secondary spermatocytes, and the two secondary spermatocytes by their subdivision produce four spermatozoa.
9.
The primary spermatocytes within the adluminal compartment will continue on to Meiosis I and divide into two daughters cells, known as secondary spermatocytes, a process which takes 24 days to complete.
10.
The primary spermatocyte divides meiotically ( Meiosis I ) into two secondary spermatocytes; each secondary spermatocyte divides into two spermatids by Meiosis II . These develop into mature spermatozoa, also known as sperm cells.
