Although meiosis produces four daughter cells, only one of these becomes an egg. The other three are known as polar bodies.

During spermatogenesis, each primary spermatocyte gives rise to four spermatozoa. This means that at the end of spermatogenesis, four functional sperm cells are produced from a single diploid germ cell.
One primary spermatocyte undergoes meiosis to produce four sperm cells.
In male animals, the primary sex cells (sperm) are produced in the testes through a process called spermatogenesis. During spermatogenesis, each primary spermatocyte undergoes two rounds of division to produce a total of four daughter cells, called spermatids. These spermatids then mature into functional sperm cells.
If there are 13 homologues in a primary spermatocyte, that means the sperm will contain half that number since the number of chromosomes is halved during meiosis. Therefore, a sperm from that primary spermatocyte would contain 6.5 chromosomes, which is not a practical biological number because chromosomes cannot be divided in half.

There are 13 pairs of homologous chromosomes in a primary spermatocyte, which means there are 26 chromosomes. During meiosis, the primary spermatocyte undergoes two divisions, resulting in four spermatids with 13 chromosomes each. Therefore, a sperm cell would also have 13 chromosomes.
There are only two strands within the DNA that is present in a primary spermatocyte. There are many double stranded breakage DNAs withing the spermatocyte.

There are 23 chromosomes in each sperm produced by a human male.
