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

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.

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..

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

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

Gemmiparity :: Gemmiparity (n.) Reproduction by budding; gemmation. See Budding.

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

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..

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

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

See Redia..
