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..

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.

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

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

Agamogenesis :: Agamogenesis (n.) Reproduction without the union of parents of distinct sexes: asexual reproduction.

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..

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

Asexual :: Asexual (a.) Having no distinct sex; without sexual action; as, asexual reproduction. See Fission and Gemmation..

Reproduction :: Reproduction (n.) the process by which plants and animals give rise to offspring.

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. In some cases reproduction may take place without the union of the distinct individuals. In the animal kingdom true hermaphrodites are found only among the invertebrates. See Illust. in Appendix, under Helmi

Fission :: Fission (n.) A method of asexual reproduction among the lowest (unicellular) organisms by means of a process of self-division, consisting of gradual division or cleavage of the into two parts, each of which then becomes a separate and independent organisms; as when a cell in an animal or plant, or its germ, undergoes a spontaneous division, and the parts again subdivide. See Segmentation, and Cell division, under Division..

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

Tritozooid :: Tritozooid (n.) A zooid of the third generation in asexual reproduction.

Transcription :: Transcription (n.) An arrangement of a composition for some other instrument or voice than that for which it was originally written, as the translating of a song, a vocal or instrumental quartet, or even an orchestral work, into a piece for the piano; an adaptation; an arrangement; -- a name applied by modern composers for the piano to a more or less fanciful and ornate reproduction on their own instrument of a song or other piece not originally intended for it; as, Liszt's transcriptions of son

Zoogamy :: Zoogamy (n.) The sexual reproduction of animals.

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

Paedogenesis :: Paedogenesis (n.) Reproduction by young or larval animals.

Sporocyst :: Sporocyst (n.) An asexual zooid, usually forming one of a series of larval forms in the agamic reproduction of various trematodes and other parasitic worms. The sporocyst generally develops from an egg, but in its turn produces other larvae by internal budding, or by the subdivision of a part or all of its contents into a number of minute germs. See Redia..

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