#genetics noun
- Anisogamous — Pertaining to anisogamy, relating to this type of reproduction, or characterized by the presence of unequal gametes; an organism or a plant or animal species whose male and female sex cells clearly differ in size, shape, or mobility. As a noun, it represents the asymmetric type of gamete involved in fertilization, as opposed to an isogamete.
- Anisogeny — A rare biological phenomenon or genetic process in which hybrids or offspring inherit different or asymmetrical structural traits depending on the sex of the parent from whom they originate; inequality in the transmission or manifestation of the hereditary genetic potential of the two sexes. This mechanism is studied in advanced genetics to understand deviations from classical Mendelian laws and the influence of cytoplasmic interactions.
