Gametogamy, the Glossary

Gametogamy is sexual fusion – copulation or fertlization – of two single-celled gametes of different sex and the union of their gamete nuclei (and corresponding extranuclear structures) giving the zygote nucleus, as well as whole zygotic content.^[1]

Ancient Greek

Ancient Greek (Ἑλληνῐκή) includes the forms of the Greek language used in ancient Greece and the ancient world from around 1500 BC to 300 BC.

See Gametogamy and Ancient Greek

Anisogamy

283x283px Anisogamy is a form of sexual reproduction that involves the union or fusion of two gametes that differ in size and/or form. Gametogamy and Anisogamy are germ cells and reproduction.

See Gametogamy and Anisogamy

Apomixis

In botany, apomixis is asexual development of seed or embryo without fertilization.

See Gametogamy and Apomixis

Asexual reproduction

Asexual reproduction is a type of reproduction that does not involve the fusion of gametes or change in the number of chromosomes. Gametogamy and Asexual reproduction are reproduction.

See Gametogamy and Asexual reproduction

Botany

Botany, also called plant science (or plant sciences), plant biology or phytology, is the science of plant life and a branch of biology.

See Gametogamy and Botany

Cell biology

Cell biology (also cellular biology or cytology) is a branch of biology that studies the structure, function, and behavior of cells.

See Gametogamy and Cell biology

Cell nucleus

The cell nucleus (nuclei) is a membrane-bound organelle found in eukaryotic cells.

See Gametogamy and Cell nucleus

Embryo

An embryo is the initial stage of development for a multicellular organism.

See Gametogamy and Embryo

Female

An organism's sex is female (symbol: ♀) if it produces the ovum (egg cell), the type of gamete (sex cell) that fuses with the male gamete (sperm cell) during sexual reproduction.

See Gametogamy and Female

Fertilisation

Fertilisation or fertilization (see spelling differences), also known as generative fertilisation, syngamy and impregnation, is the fusion of gametes to give rise to a zygote and initiate its development into a new individual organism or offspring. Gametogamy and fertilisation are reproduction.

See Gametogamy and Fertilisation

Gamete

A gamete (ultimately) is a haploid cell that fuses with another haploid cell during fertilization in organisms that reproduce sexually. Gametogamy and gamete are germ cells.

See Gametogamy and Gamete

Gene expression

Gene expression is the process by which information from a gene is used in the synthesis of a functional gene product that enables it to produce end products, proteins or non-coding RNA, and ultimately affect a phenotype.

See Gametogamy and Gene expression

Genome

In the fields of molecular biology and genetics, a genome is all the genetic information of an organism.

See Gametogamy and Genome

Heterogamy

Heterogamy is a term applied to a variety of distinct phenomena in different scientific domains.

See Gametogamy and Heterogamy

Isogamy

Isogamy is a form of sexual reproduction that involves gametes of the same morphology (indistinguishable in shape and size), and is found in most unicellular eukaryotes. Gametogamy and Isogamy are germ cells and reproduction.

See Gametogamy and Isogamy

Male

Male (symbol: ♂) is the sex of an organism that produces the gamete (sex cell) known as sperm, which fuses with the larger female gamete, or ovum, in the process of fertilisation.

See Gametogamy and Male

Mating type

Mating types are the microorganism equivalent to sexes in multicellular lifeforms and are thought to be the ancestor to distinct sexes.

See Gametogamy and Mating type

Mating-type locus

The mating-type locus is a specialized region in the genomes of some yeast and other fungi, usually organized into heterochromatin and possessing unique histone methylation patterns.

See Gametogamy and Mating-type locus

Morphology (biology)

Morphology in biology is the study of the form and structure of organisms and their specific structural features.

See Gametogamy and Morphology (biology)

Nut (fruit)

A nut is a fruit consisting of a hard or tough nutshell protecting a kernel which is usually edible.

See Gametogamy and Nut (fruit)

Oocyte

An oocyte, oöcyte, or ovocyte is a female gametocyte or germ cell involved in reproduction. Gametogamy and oocyte are germ cells.

See Gametogamy and Oocyte

Parthenogenesis

Parthenogenesis (from the Greek παρθένος|translit.

See Gametogamy and Parthenogenesis

Pollen

Pollen is a powdery substance produced by most types of flowers of seed plants for the purpose of sexual reproduction.

See Gametogamy and Pollen

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). Gametogamy and Sexual reproduction are reproduction.

See Gametogamy and Sexual reproduction

Species

A species (species) is often defined as the largest group of organisms in which any two individuals of the appropriate sexes or mating types can produce fertile offspring, typically by sexual reproduction.

See Gametogamy and Species

Zygote

A zygote is a eukaryotic cell formed by a fertilization event between two gametes.

See Gametogamy and Zygote
