Best Answer

Four megaspores are formed from meiotic division of megapore mother cell which is diploid. We know that diploid cells undergo meiosis to give haploid cells. So, it seems to me that megaspores are haploid.

Meiosis in the male mammals result in the formation of?

The primary spermatocyte is diploid(2n) and after first meiotic division it will produce 2 haploid(n) secondary spermatocyte and these in turn after second meiotic division will produce 2 more haploid secondary spermatocyte. Therefore by the end of Meiosis one will have 4 haploid secondary spermatocyte or spermatids.

How are cells at the end of meiosis different from the cell at the beginning of meiosis?

1. primary spermatocyte (dipolotid (46)) ------1st meiotic division------ produce: 2 secondary spermatocytes (haploid (23)) ------2nd meiotic division-------- Producing four spermatids (haploid (23)) so the difference is that in the begnning u have a dipoloid cell with 46 chromosomes, and in the end u wil have a haploid cell with 23 chromosomes that in the case are ready to meet the egg, and produce a zygote (diplotid, with 46 chromosomes) that wil develop to be a child.


Describe the functions of the gonads?

Gonads are testes and ovaries. Testes produce spermatozoa by spermatogenesis and ovaries produce ova by oogenesis. Spermatozoa are produced via mitosis, producing diploid primary spermatocytes, then meiosis I which produces haploid secondary spermatocytes, which are converted to spermatids by meiosis II. Spermatids become spermatozoa. For the inchoate ovum, a diploid primary oocyte forms, followed meiotically by a haploid secondary oocyte. Ovulation occurs and the secondary oocyte only becomes a true ovum after syngamy. During the process, primary polar bodies become secondary polar bodies and are all rejected.
