Edible frog, the Glossary
The edible frog (Pelophylax kl. esculentus) is a hybrid species of common European frog, also known as the common water frog or green frog (however, this latter term is also used for the North American species Rana clamitans).[1]

Backcrossing
Backcrossing is a crossing of a hybrid with one of its parents or an individual genetically similar to its parent, to achieve offspring with a genetic identity closer to that of the parent.

Carl Linnaeus
Carl Linnaeus (23 May 1707 – 10 January 1778), also known after ennoblement in 1761 as Carl von Linné,Blunt (2004), p. 171.
See Edible frog and Carl Linnaeus
Clone (cell biology)
A clone is a group of identical cells that share a common ancestry, meaning they are derived from the same cell.
See Edible frog and Clone (cell biology)
Frog
A frog is any member of a diverse and largely carnivorous group of short-bodied, tailless amphibians composing the order Anura (coming from the Ancient Greek ἀνούρα, literally 'without tail').
Frog legs
Frog legs are consumed as food in some cuisines.
Gamete
A gamete (ultimately) is a haploid cell that fuses with another haploid cell during fertilization in organisms that reproduce sexually.
Gametogenesis
Gametogenesis is a biological process by which diploid or haploid precursor cells undergo cell division and differentiation to form mature haploid gametes.
See Edible frog and Gametogenesis
Genetic recombination
Genetic recombination (also known as genetic reshuffling) is the exchange of genetic material between different organisms which leads to production of offspring with combinations of traits that differ from those found in either parent.
See Edible frog and Genetic recombination
Genome
In the fields of molecular biology and genetics, a genome is all the genetic information of an organism.
Genotype
The genotype of an organism is its complete set of genetic material.
Hybrid (biology)
In biology, a hybrid is the offspring resulting from combining the qualities of two organisms of different varieties, subspecies, species or genera through sexual reproduction.
See Edible frog and Hybrid (biology)
Klepton
In biology, a klepton (abbr. kl.) and synklepton (abbr sk.) is a species that requires input from another biological taxon (normally from a species which is closely related to the kleptonic species) to complete its reproductive cycle.
Lithobates clamitans
Lithobates clamitans or Rana clamitans, commonly known as the green frog, is a species of frog native to eastern North America.
See Edible frog and Lithobates clamitans
Marsh frog
The marsh frog (Pelophylax ridibundus) is a species of water frog native to Europe and parts of western Asia. Edible frog and marsh frog are amphibians of Europe, Habitats Directive species and Pelophylax.

Parthenogenesis
Parthenogenesis (from the Greek παρθένος|translit.
See Edible frog and Parthenogenesis
Polyploidy
Polyploidy is a condition in which the cells of an organism have more than one pair of (homologous) chromosomes.
See Edible frog and Polyploidy
Pool frog
The pool frog (Pelophylax lessonae) is a European frog in the family Ranidae. Edible frog and pool frog are amphibians of Europe and Pelophylax.
Sexual reproduction
Sexual reproduction is a type of reproduction that involves a complex life cycle in which a gamete (haploid reproductive cells, such as a sperm or egg cell) with a single set of chromosomes combines with another gamete to produce a zygote that develops into an organism composed of cells with two sets of chromosomes (diploid).
See Edible frog and Sexual reproduction
Sympatry
In biology, two related species or populations are considered sympatric when they exist in the same geographic area and thus frequently encounter one another.
Tadpole
A tadpole is the larval stage in the biological life cycle of an amphibian.

10th edition of Systema Naturae
The 10th edition of Systema Naturae (Latin; the English title is A General System of Nature) is a book written by Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus and published in two volumes in 1758 and 1759, which marks the starting point of zoological nomenclature.
