Zyophyte :: Zyophyte (n.) Any plant of a proposed class or grand division (Zygophytes, Zygophyta, or Zygosporeae), in which reproduction consists in the union of two similar cells. Cf. Oophyte..

Sterile :: Sterile (a.) Incapable of reproduction; unfitted for reproduction of offspring; not able to germinate or bear fruit; unfruitful; as, a sterile flower, which bears only stamens..

Paedogenesis :: Paedogenesis (n.) Reproduction by young or larval animals.

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

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..

Sporocyst :: Sporocyst (n.) An asexual zooid, usually forming one of a series of larval forms in the agamic reproduction of various trematodes and other parasitic worms. The sporocyst generally develops from an egg, but in its turn produces other larvae by internal budding, or by the subdivision of a part or all of its contents into a number of minute germs. See Redia..

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

Gemma :: Gemma (n.) A bud spore; one of the small spores or buds in the reproduction of certain Protozoa, which separate one at a time from the parent cell..

Budding :: Budding (n.) A process of asexual reproduction, in which a new organism or cell is formed by a protrusion of a portion of the animal or vegetable organism, the bud thus formed sometimes remaining attached to the parent stalk or cell, at other times becoming free; gemmation. See Hydroidea..

Gamogenesis :: Gamogenesis (n.) The production of offspring by the union of parents of different sexes; sexual reproduction; -- the opposite of agamogenesis.

Filicoid :: Filicoid (a.) Fernlike, either in form or in the nature of the method of reproduction..

Cast :: Cast (n.) That which is formed in a mild; esp. a reproduction or copy, as of a work of art, in bronze or plaster, etc.; a casting..

Fissiparism :: Fissiparism (n.) Reproduction by spontaneous fission.

Gemmation :: Gemmation (n.) The formation of a new individual, either animal or vegetable, by a process of budding; an asexual method of reproduction; gemmulation; gemmiparity. See Budding..

Agamic :: Agamic (a.) Not having visible organs of reproduction, as flowerless plants; agamous..

Blossom :: Blossom (n.) The flower of a plant, or the essential organs of reproduction, with their appendages; florescence; bloom; the flowers of a plant, collectively; as, the blossoms and fruit of a tree; an apple tree in blossom..

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..

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

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

Sporogony :: Sporogenesis (n.) reproduction by spores.
