Which statement about germ cells in humans is true?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Germ cells are distinct from somatic cells. Somatic cells make up the body of an organism, while germ cells give rise to gametes that are involved in sexual reproduction.

Answer: A 
 Germ cells migrate to the gonads during fetal development, not at puberty. At puberty, they are ready to undergo meiosis and differentiate into mature gametes.

Answer: B 
 Germ cells undergo meiosis followed by mitosis to produce four haploid cells that eventually differentiate into mature gametes. Mitosis ensures that each gamete gets an equal amount of cytoplasmic content.

Answer: D 
 Germ cells are first present during early fetal development in humans. They migrate to the gonads during fetal development and remain dormant until puberty, when they undergo gametogenesis.

Answer: E 
 Germ cells undergo meiosis, which generates genetically unique haploid gametes. The gametes receive one set of chromosomes from each parent, resulting in genetic variation.
