WHAT DOES GONOPHORE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Gonophore

A gonophore is a reproductive organ in Hydrozoa that produces gametes. It is a sporosac, a medusa or any intermediate stage. The name is derived from the Greek words gone and phoreus. Gonophores are borne on branching stalks that grow out as a ring from the hydranth wall. The germ cells are formed from the inner layer of the entocodon. The entocodon is the primordium of the subumbrella in the development of medusae from the gonophore. The gonophores in the order Leptomedusae are borne on much reduced hydranths and are usually protected in a peridermal gonotheca. Medusae forming on fully developed hydranths are extremely rare; usually the gonophores develop into medusae or into sessile sporosacs. The gonophores in the superfamily Plumularioidea are usually fixed sporosacs, more rarely they are rather reduced medusoids. The gonophores in the family Lovenellidae are pedunculate free-roaming medusae. The gonophores in the family Haleciidae are typically sporosacs, growing singly or bunched into a glomulus. They remain attached to the hydroids or break off to be passively drifted away; in a few, the gonophores are naked.
