The germline is a group of cells [[|]]in multicellular organisms that are not somatic cells.
A cell is considered to be part of the germline if they are a haploid gamete or they are a precursor to those haploid gametes and therefore may be diploid [1] .
In mammals, the germline cells become spermatozoa or ova.
