Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Germ cells are specialized cells found in the gonads (ovaries and testes) that undergo meiosis to form gametes (eggs and sperm). Somatic cells, on the other hand, are any type of cell other than germ cells, such as skin cells or muscle cells. Stem cells are cells that have the ability to differentiate into various types of cells, including germ cells. Basal cells are cells found in many types of epithelial tissues, but not specifically in the gonads. Egg cells are a type of gamete produced by the female reproductive system.
