Okay players,
I am having trouble finding this on google & SDN (i must be using the wrong search terms or something). Or I could be wayyyyy off on this topic.
When exactly/what stage of cell cycle does Meiosis occur.
I know it goes G1-->S-->G2-->M(mitosis) but when does meiosis occur. But before we start throwing around PMATs and **** please read the following and tell me if I am wrong.
I understand that meiosis only occurs in germ cells. Further I realize that for females this happens before birth and for males this takes place for life (spermatagonium --> spermatids).
So when during the cell cycle does this meiosis take place? when/how are spermatagoniums formed continuously for life? via mitosis of Type(Ad) cells and then spontaneous differentiation of these cells leads to the meiosis pathway and subsequent formation of spermatids? if so, then for germ cells the cell cycle would be G1-->S-->G2-->M(mitosis)-->M(meiosis)-->G0?
