Phonograph :: Phonograph (n.) An instrument for the mechanical registration and reproduction of audible sounds, as articulate speech, etc. It consists of a rotating cylinder or disk covered with some material easily indented, as tinfoil, wax, paraffin, etc., above which is a thin plate carrying a stylus. As the plate vibrates under the influence of a sound, the stylus makes minute indentations or undulations in the soft material, and these, when the cylinder or disk is again turned, set the plate in vibration

Gamogenesis :: Gamogenesis (n.) The production of offspring by the union of parents of different sexes; sexual reproduction; -- the opposite of agamogenesis.

Metamorphosis :: Metamorphosis (n.) A change in the form or function of a living organism, by a natural process of growth or development; as, the metamorphosis of the yolk into the embryo, of a tadpole into a frog, or of a bud into a blossom. Especially, that form of sexual reproduction in which an embryo undergoes a series of marked changes of external form, as the chrysalis stage, pupa stage, etc., in insects. In these intermediate stages sexual reproduction is usually impossible, but they ultimately pass into

Reproductive :: Reproductive (a.) Tending, or pertaining, to reproduction; employed in reproduction..

Oophyte :: Oophyte (n.) Any plant of a proposed class or grand division (collectively termed oophytes or Oophyta), which have their sexual reproduction accomplished by motile antherozoids acting on oospheres, either while included in their oogonia or after exclusion..

Air :: Air (n.) The representation or reproduction of the effect of the atmospheric medium through which every object in nature is viewed.

Filicoid :: Filicoid (a.) Fernlike, either in form or in the nature of the method of reproduction..

Schizogenesis :: Schizogenesis (n.) Reproduction by fission.

Regeneration :: Regeneration (n.) The reproduction or renewal of tissues, cells, etc., which have been used up and destroyed by the ordinary processes of life; as, the continual regeneration of the epithelial cells of the body, or the regeneration of the contractile substance of muscle..

Homogenesis :: Homogenesis (n.) That method of reproduction in which the successive generations are alike, the offspring, either animal or plant, running through the same cycle of existence as the parent; gamogenesis; -- opposed to heterogenesis..

Reproduction :: Reproduction (n.) That which is reproduced.

Fissigemmation :: Fissigemmation (n.) A process of reproduction intermediate between fission and gemmation.

Sporogony :: Sporogenesis (n.) reproduction by spores.

Heterogenesis :: Heterogenesis (n.) That method of reproduction in which the successive generations differ from each other, the parent organism producing offspring different in habit and structure from itself, the original form, however, reappearing after one or more generations; -- opposed to homogenesis, or gamogenesis..

Protoplast :: Protoplast (n.) The thing first formed; that of which there are subsequent copies or reproductions; the original.

Monogenous :: Monogenous (a.) Of or pertaining to monogenesis; as, monogenous, or asexual, reproduction..

Hermaphrodite :: Hermaphrodite (n.) An individual which has the attributes of both male and female, or which unites in itself the two sexes; an animal or plant having the parts of generation of both sexes, as when a flower contains both the stamens and pistil within the same calyx, or on the same receptacle.

See Illust. in Appendix, under Helmi
