Primary Spermatocyte

Diploid germ cells in the testis that undergo meiosis I to produce two haploid secondary spermatocytes.

Key Functions:

• Undergoes meiosis I, reducing the chromosome number by half.
• Generates genetic diversity through crossing over.
• Precursor to secondary spermatocytes in spermatogenesis.

Interacting Systems & Components:

• Spermatogonia (develops from)
• Secondary Spermatocyte (produces)
• Testis (located in)
• Meiosis (undergoes)
• Reproductive System (part of)
