Trimorphism, the Glossary
In biology, trimorphism is the existence in certain plants and animals of three distinct forms, especially in connection with the reproductive organs.[1]

Animal
Animals are multicellular, eukaryotic organisms in the biological kingdom Animalia.
Biology
Biology is the scientific study of life.
Chemical composition
A chemical composition specifies the identity, arrangement, and ratio of the chemical elements making up a compound by way of chemical and atomic bonds.
See Trimorphism and Chemical composition
Crystallization
Crystallization is the process by which solids form, where the atoms or molecules are highly organized into a structure known as a crystal.
See Trimorphism and Crystallization
Crystallography
Crystallography is the branch of science devoted to the study of molecular and crystalline structure and properties.
See Trimorphism and Crystallography
Fertility
Fertility in colloquial terms refers the ability to have offspring.
Gynoecium
Gynoecium (gynoecia) is most commonly used as a collective term for the parts of a flower that produce ovules and ultimately develop into the fruit and seeds.
Malay Archipelago
The Malay Archipelago is the archipelago between Mainland Southeast Asia and Australia, and is also called Insulindia or the Indo-Australian Archipelago.
See Trimorphism and Malay Archipelago
Mineral
In geology and mineralogy, a mineral or mineral species is, broadly speaking, a solid substance with a fairly well-defined chemical composition and a specific crystal structure that occurs naturally in pure form.
Plant
Plants are the eukaryotes that form the kingdom Plantae; they are predominantly photosynthetic.
Pollen
Pollen is a powdery substance produced by most types of flowers of seed plants for the purpose of sexual reproduction. Trimorphism and Pollen are Pollination.
Sex organ
A sex organ, also known as a reproductive organ, is a part of an organism that is involved in sexual reproduction.
Sexual dimorphism
Sexual dimorphism is the condition where sexes of the same species exhibit different morphological characteristics, particularly characteristics not directly involved in reproduction. Trimorphism and Sexual dimorphism are sex.
See Trimorphism and Sexual dimorphism
Stamen
The stamen (stamina or stamens) is the pollen-producing reproductive organ of a flower. Trimorphism and stamen are Pollination.
Stigma (botany)
The stigma (stigmas or stigmata) is the receptive tip of a carpel, or of several fused carpels, in the gynoecium of a flower.
