WHAT DOES PROTOGYNOUS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

protogynous

Sequential hermaphroditism

Sequential hermaphroditism is a type of hermaphroditism that occurs in many fish, gastropoda and plants. Sequential hermaphroditism occurs when the individual changes sex at some point in their life. They can change from a male to female, or from female to male or from female to hermaphrodite. Those that change gonadal sex can have both female and male germ cells in the gonads or can change from one complete gonadal type to the other during their last life stage. Individual flowers are also called sequentially hermaphrodite, although the plant as a whole may have functionally male and functionally female flowers open at the same time.
