Which statement best describes a secondary spermatocyte?
A) It is a haploid gamete.
B) It undergoes meiosis II.
C) It undergoes meiosis I.
D) It is a stem cell.
Secondary Spermatocyte
A cell that arises from the division of a primary spermatocyte during spermatogenesis and goes on to divide into spermatids.
Meiosis II
The second division in meiosis, a process of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half, resulting in the production of four genetically distinct gametes.
Meiosis I
The first division in the two-stage process of meiosis that reduces the chromosome number by half, resulting in four haploid cells.
