WHAT DOES AUTOGAMY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

autogamy

Reproduction

Reproduction is the biological process by which new "offspring" individual organisms are produced from their "parents". Reproduction is a fundamental feature of all known life; each individual organism exists as the result of reproduction. The known methods of reproduction are broadly grouped into two main types: sexual and asexual. In asexual reproduction, an individual can reproduce without involvement with another individual of that species. The division of a bacterial cell into two daughter cells is an example of asexual reproduction. Asexual reproduction is not, however, limited to single-celled organisms. Most plants have the ability to reproduce asexually and the ant species Mycocepurus smithii is thought to reproduce entirely by asexual means. Sexual reproduction typically requires the involvement of two individuals or gametes, one each from opposite type of sex. The propagation of organisms can also occur through cloning.

Definition of autogamy in the English dictionary

The definition of autogamy in the dictionary is self-fertilization in flowering plants. Other definition of autogamy is a type of sexual reproduction, occurring in some protozoans, in which the uniting gametes are derived from the same cell.
