What is the difference
between spermatocyte I and
spermatocyte II?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Introduction 

The life starts from single cell called Zygote. A zygote is formed by the fusion of male gamete (Sperm) with the female gamete (Ova/Egg). Both the gametes contain single set of genetic information and thus are haploid in nature. These are formed by reductional division (Meiosis) by the diploid cells.

The process of formation of gametes is known as Gametogenesis, where the formation of male gametes (sperm) is known as Spermatogenesis while formation of female gamete (ova) is referred as Oogenesis.
