Encystment :: Encystment (n.) A process which, among some of the lower forms of life, precedes reproduction by budding, fission, spore formation, etc..

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..

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..

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

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

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

Monogenesis :: Monogenesis (n.) That form of reproduction which requires but one parent, as in reproduction by fission or in the formation of buds, etc., which drop off and form new individuals; asexual reproduction..

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

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..

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

Copy :: Copy (n.) An imitation, transcript, or reproduction of an original work; as, a copy of a letter, an engraving, a painting, or a statue..

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

Blossom :: Blossom (n.) The flower of a plant, or the essential organs of reproduction, with their appendages; florescence; bloom; the flowers of a plant, collectively; as, the blossoms and fruit of a tree; an apple tree in blossom..

Nurse :: Nurse (n.) A peculiar larva of certain trematodes which produces cercariae by asexual reproduction. See Cercaria, and Redia..

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

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

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

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

Fissiparism :: Fissiparism (n.) Reproduction by spontaneous fission.
