| Name: | spermatocyte |
|---|---|
| Synonyms: | spermatocytes |
| Definition: | A male germ cell that develops from spermatogonia. The euploid primary spermatocytes undergo meiosis and give rise to the haploid secondary spermatocytes which in turn give rise to spermatids. |
| Ontology: | Anatomy Ontology [ZFA:0009005] |
| Name: | meiotic telomere clustering |
|---|---|
| Synonyms: | bouquet biosynthesis, bouquet formation |
| Definition: | The cell cycle process in which the dynamic reorganization of telomeres occurs in early meiotic prophase, during which meiotic chromosome ends are gathered in a bouquet arrangement at the inner surface of the nuclear envelope proximal to the spindle pole body. This plays an important role in progression through meiosis and precedes synapsis. |
