Answer 2

19

Step-by-step explanation:

The secondary spermatocyte is formed in the process of spermatogenesis that occurs in the testis of the cat. It begins with a germ cell/primary spermatocyte that is diploid, that undergoes meiosis I turning it into a haploid secondary spermatocyte. The secondary spermatocyte then undergoes meiosis II to turn it into spermatids.
