Solution

The correct answers are:

  • haploid
  • equal-sized
  • specialize into mature sperm

Explanation:

  • Spermatids are haploid, meaning they contain one set of chromosomes. This is because they are the result of the second division of meiosis in which the diploid cells (spermatocytes) are divided into haploid cells.

  • Spermatids are equal-sized. They are produced from the second meiotic division of secondary spermatocytes. Each secondary spermatocyte gives rise to two equal-sized spermatids.

  • Spermatids specialize into mature sperm through a process called spermiogenesis. During this process, the spermatids lose most of their cytoplasm and develop a tail, becoming spermatozoa (mature sperm cells).

Spermatids are not diploid and they will not enter meiosis. They are the product of meiosis and are already haploid.
