Flower :: Flower (n.) That part of a plant destined to produce seed, and hence including one or both of the sexual organs; an organ or combination of the organs of reproduction, whether inclosed by a circle of foliar parts or not. A complete flower consists of two essential parts, the stamens and the pistil, and two floral envelopes, the corolla and callyx. In mosses the flowers consist of a few special leaves surrounding or subtending organs called archegonia. See Blossom, and Corolla..

Gemmation :: Gemmation (n.) The formation of a new individual, either animal or vegetable, by a process of budding; an asexual method of reproduction; gemmulation; gemmiparity. See Budding..

Budding :: Budding (n.) A process of asexual reproduction, in which a new organism or cell is formed by a protrusion of a portion of the animal or vegetable organism, the bud thus formed sometimes remaining attached to the parent stalk or cell, at other times becoming free; gemmation. See Hydroidea..

Generation :: Generation (n.) The aggregate of the functions and phenomene which attend reproduction.

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

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

Schizo- :: Schizo- () A combining form denoting division or cleavage; as, schizogenesis, reproduction by fission or cell division..

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

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

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..

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

Cliche :: Cliche (n.) A stereotype plate or any similar reproduction of ornament, or lettering, in relief..

Gemma :: Gemma (n.) A bud spore; one of the small spores or buds in the reproduction of certain Protozoa, which separate one at a time from the parent cell..

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

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

Zyophyte :: Zyophyte (n.) Any plant of a proposed class or grand division (Zygophytes, Zygophyta, or Zygosporeae), in which reproduction consists in the union of two similar cells. Cf. Oophyte..

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

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

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..

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..
