Detailed explanation-1: -Germ eells are the only cells in the body to undergo meiotic cell divisions during their differentiation. This leads to haploidy of the gametes and also generates genetic differences between individuals.

Detailed explanation-2: -Meiosis I is a unique cell division that occurs only in germ cells; meiosis II is similar to a mitotic division. Before germ cells enter meiosis, they are generally diploid, meaning that they have two homologous copies of each chromosome.

Detailed explanation-3: -They are also referred to as sex cells. Female gametes are called ova or egg cells, and male gametes are called sperm. Gametes are haploid cells, and each cell carries only one copy of each chromosome. These reproductive cells are produced through a type of cell division called meiosis.

Detailed explanation-4: -Some organisms reproduce sexually and need special sex cells named germ cells to pass their genomes from parents to offspring. Germ cells are known as egg cells in females and sperm cells in males. And together, they make up the germ lines of the organism. Germ lines are the link between generations.
