|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Summary | During germline development germ cells, or reproductive cells, are specified, proliferated, and maintained for the establishment of a germline in the next generation. In C. elegans, germ cells are specified from somatic cells during early embryogenesis. During larval stages, cells of the germline proliferate, undergo meiotic entry, and the germline undergoes sex determination. Gametogenesis, specifically spermatogenesis, begins in late L4 in the hermaphrodite, and switches to oogenesis after the adult molt. Germline proliferation, meiotic development, and gametogenesis continue throughout adulthood. | ||||
