AP BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Germ cells differentiate to produce male and female gametes, sperm and unfertilized eggs (oocytes or ova), and undergo meiosis to produce a haploid set of chromosomes. Haploid gametes then unite to form a diploid zygote that develops into a new individual.

Detailed explanation-2: -(jerm sel) A reproductive cell of the body. Germ cells are egg cells in females and sperm cells in males.

Detailed explanation-3: -Actually, germ cell are those cells which creates gametes (sperm in male and ovule in female) .. Germ cell are diploid meaning they have 2n number of chromosomes and undergo meiosis to from gamete in which the number of chromosomes is half… Also germ cells are the only cell which can undergo meiosis as well as mitosis.

Detailed explanation-4: -Germ cells differentiate into gametes (spermatozoa or ova) that convey the parental genes to the next generation through fertilization. Germ cells are the only cells that undergo meiotic division, which occurs during germ cell differentiation and involves mosaic recombination of homologous chromosomes.

Detailed explanation-5: -On the basis of germ cells involved reproduction is of 2 Types, a) Asexual reproduction: A single parent organism reproduces by the fragmentation of the cell of the parent organism to form daughter organism, thus includes processes like fission, budding, fragmentation, regeneration.
