Reproduction \Re`pro*duc"tion\ (-d?k"sh?n), n. [Cf. F.       reproduction.]       1. The act or process of reproducing; the state of being             reproduced; specifically (Biol.), the process by which             plants and animals give rise to offspring.          Note: There are two distinct methods of reproduction; viz.:                {asexual reproduction} (agamogenesis) and {sexual                reproduction} (gamogenesis). In both cases the new                individual is developed from detached portions of the                parent organism. In asexual reproduction (gemmation,                fission, etc.), the detached portions of the organism                develop into new individuals without the intervention                of other living matter. In sexual reproduction, the                detached portion, which is always a single cell, called                the female germ cell, is acted upon by another portion                of living matter, the male germ cell, usually from                another organism, and in the fusion of the two                (impregnation) a new cell is formed, from the                development of which arises a new individual.          2. That which is reproduced.
