The path of primordial germ cells illustrates the complexities of imprinted DNA, which contains epigenetic marks that turn on and off when necessary. Differences between the maternal and paternal ...

What are germ cell and sex cord stromal cells? Germ cells and sex cord stromal cells form when a fetus (baby) is developing. A fetus is made from a sperm cell and an egg cell. Germ cell tumors (GCTs) ...

In most multicellular organisms, meiosis is restricted to germ cells that are set aside in early development. The germ cells reside in specialized environments provided by the gonads, or sex organs.
