A biological process whose specific outcome is the progression of an integrated living unit: an anatomical structure (which may be a subcellular structure, cell, tissue, or organ), or organism over time from an initial condition to a later condition. A developmental process by which a progressive change in the state of some part of an organism specifically contributes to its ability to form offspring. The biological process by which new individuals are produced by either a single cell or a group of cells, in the absence of any sexual 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. The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the sorocarp over time, from its formation to the mature structure. The process begins with the aggregation of individual cells and ends with the mature sorocarp. The sorocarp is a structure containing a spore-bearing sorus that sits on top of a stalk. An example of this process is found in Dictyostelium discoideum. The process by which the sorocarp is generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. An example of this process is found in Dictyostelium discoideum. The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the fruiting body over time, from its formation to the mature structure. The process begins with a response to a lack of nutrients and ends when the fruiting body is a mature structure. The biological process whose specific outcome is the progression of an anatomical structure from an initial condition to its mature state. This process begins with the formation of the structure and ends with the mature structure, whatever form that may be including its natural destruction. An anatomical structure is any biological entity that occupies space and is distinguished from its surroundings. Anatomical structures can be macroscopic such as a carpel, or microscopic such as an acrosome. The process by which anatomical structures are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form.
