sexual reproduction
|
A reproduction process that creates a new organism by combining the genetic material of two organisms. It occurs both in eukaryotes and prokaryotes: in multicellular eukaryotic organisms, an individual is created anew; in prokaryotes, the initial cell has additional or transformed genetic material. In a process called genetic recombination, genetic material (DNA) originating from two different individuals (parents) join up so that homologous sequences are aligned with each other, and this is followed by exchange of genetic information. After the new recombinant chromosome is formed, it is passed on to progeny. |

|
cellular process
|
Any process that is carried out at the cellular level, but not necessarily restricted to a single cell. For example, cell communication occurs among more than one cell, but occurs at the cellular level. |
|
GO:0008150
|
biological_process
|
Any process specifically pertinent to the functioning of integrated living units: cells, tissues, organs, and organisms. A process is a collection of molecular events with a defined beginning and end. |
|
GO:0000003
|
reproduction
|
The production of new individuals that contain some portion of genetic material inherited from one or more parent organisms. |
|
GO:0051704
|
multi-organism process
|
A biological process which involves another organism of the same or different species. |
|
GO:0044764
|
multi-organism cellular process
|
Any process that is carried out at the cellular level which involves another organism of the same or different species. |
|
GO:0022414
|
reproductive process
|
A biological process that directly contributes to the process of producing new individuals by one or two organisms. The new individuals inherit some proportion of their genetic material from the parent or parents. |
|
GO:0000747
|
conjugation with cellular fusion
|
A conjugation process that results in the union of cellular and genetic information from compatible mating types. An example of this process is found in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. |
|
GO:0000746
|
conjugation
|
The union or introduction of genetic information from compatible mating types that results in a genetically different individual. Conjugation requires direct cellular contact between the organisms. |
|
GO:0044703
|
multi-organism reproductive process
|
A biological process that directly contributes to the process of producing new individuals, involving another organism. |
