Egg and sperm are unique cells that pass on genetic information in humans and other mammals from one generation to the next. They originate from a small group of cells called primordial germ cells (PGCs) that form early in a developing embryo. Because researchers have minimal access to early post-implanted human embryos for ethical reasons, very little is known about the process by which PGCs arise in humans. | chemengr.ucsb.edu
