Agamobium
Definition
An organism or generation that is part of an alternation of generations cycle (metagenesis) and reproduces exclusively asexually. Structurally, the agamobium represents the alternating phase that subsequently gives rise to a sexual generation (gamobium), thereby ensuring genetic diversity and the survival of lower invertebrate or parasite species in variable environments.
