The answer

If an heir dies before the distribution of the inheritance, their share does not lapse with their death but rather goes to their heirs. Thus, your paternal grandmother's inheritance does not lapse with her death; rather, it is allocated to her, and then distributed among her heirs. If the grandmother died leaving behind a full sister and nephews (sons of a brother), her inheritance would go to her grandchildren (sons and daughters of her son). The full sister and the nephews are excluded by the male grandchildren (sons of her son) with an exclusion of deprivation. The grandmother's inheritance is divided among her son's sons and daughters, with the male receiving the share of two females.
