Pudenda :: Pudenda (n. pl.) The external organs of generation.

Posterity :: Posterity (n.) Succeeding generations; future times.

Evolution :: Evolution (n.) That theory of generation which supposes the germ to preexist in the parent, and its parts to be developed, but not actually formed, by the procreative act; -- opposed to epigenesis..

Reproduce :: Reproduce (v. t.) To produce again, by generation or the like; to cause the existence of (something of the same class, kind, or nature as another thing); to generate or beget, as offspring; as, to reproduce a rose; some animals are reproduced by gemmation..

Adipocere :: Adipocere (n.) A soft, unctuous, or waxy substance, of a light brown color, into which the fat and muscle tissue of dead bodies sometimes are converted, by long immersion in water or by burial in moist places. It is a result of fatty degeneration..

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..

Abiogenesis :: Abiogenesis (n.) The supposed origination of living organisms from lifeless matter; such genesis as does not involve the action of living parents; spontaneous generation; -- called also abiogeny, and opposed to biogenesis..

Atavism :: Atavism (n.) The recurrence of any peculiarity or disease of an ancestor in a subsequent generation, after an intermission for a generation or two..

Rising :: Rising (a.) Growing; advancing to adult years and to the state of active life; as, the rising generation..

Pathogeny :: Pathogeny (n.) The generation, and method of development, of disease; as, the pathogeny of yellow fever is unsettled..

Zooid :: Zooid (n.) An animal in one of its inferior stages of development, as one of the intermediate forms in alternate generation..

Epigenesis :: Epigenesis (n.) The theory of generation which holds that the germ is created entirely new, not merely expanded, by the procreative power of the parents. It is opposed to the theory of evolution, also to syngenesis..

Genesial :: Genesial (a.) Of or relating to generation.

Penis :: Penis (n.) The male member, or organ of generation..

Metagenesis :: Metagenesis (n.) The change of form which one animal species undergoes in a series of successively produced individuals, extending from the one developed from the ovum to the final perfected individual. Hence, metagenesis involves the production of sexual individuals by nonsexual means, either directly or through intervening sexless generations. Opposed to monogenesis. See Alternate generation, under Generation..

Regenerative :: Regenerative (a.) Of or pertaining to regeneration; tending to regenerate; as, regenerative influences..

Metagenesis :: Metagenesis (n.) Alternation of sexual and asexual or gemmiparous generations; -- in distinction from heterogamy.

Inheritance :: Inheritance (n.) Transmission and reception by animal or plant generation.

Plasmid :: Plasmid (n.) A piece of DNA, usually circular, functioning as part of the genetic material of a cell, not integrated with the chromosome and replicating independently of the chromosome, but transferred, like the chromosome, to subsequent generations. In bacteria, plasmids often carry the genes for antibiotic resistance; they are exploited in genetic engineering as the vehicles for introduction of extraneous DNA into cells, to alter the genetic makeup of the cell. The cells thus altered may produ
