Meiosis occurs in the primordial germ cells, cells specified for sexual reproduction and separate from the body's normal somatic cells. In preparation for meiosis, a germ cell goes through interphase, during which the entire cell (including the genetic material contained in the nucleus) undergoes replication.

It occurs in the sex cells. For future reference, remember this: MEiosis makes ME. What this means is thats how you were formed.
