| 1. | Primary spermatocytes are diploid ( 2N ) cells containing 46 chromosomes.
|
| 2. | Spermatocytes develop from the transformation of choanocytes and oocytes arise from archeocytes.
|
| 3. | Secondary spermatocytes are haploid ( N ) cells that contain 23 chromosomes.
|
| 4. | Each secondary spermatocyte will form two spermatids after Meiosis II.
|
| 5. | After Meiosis I, two secondary spermatocytes are formed.
|
| 6. | MSP is exclusively synthesized in spermatocytes of the nematodes.
|
| 7. | Alternatively they go on to differentiate into spermatocytes, spermatids and finally spermatozoa.
|
| 8. | Here the spermatocytes pass through the basal membrane via the sertoli cell barrier.
|
| 9. | The tail or " flagellum " executes the lashing movements that propel the spermatocyte.
|
| 10. | There are two types of spermatocytes, primary and secondary spermatocytes ( Figure 1 ).
