*a germ cell is any ‘biological cell’ that gives rise to the ‘gametes’ of an ‘organism’ that reproduces sexually*
.
(in many animals, the ‘germ cells’ originate in the ‘primitive streak’ and migrate via the ‘gut’ of an ’embryo’ to the developing ‘gonads’)
(there, they undergo ‘meiosis’, followed by cellular differentiation into mature ‘gametes’, either ‘eggs’ or ‘sperm’)
(unlike ‘animals’, ‘plants’ do not have ‘germ cells’ designated in early development)
.
(instead, ‘germ cells’ can arise from ‘somatic cells’ in the ‘adult’)
(such as the ‘floral meri-stem’ of ‘flowering plants’)
