Descriptions Names[Advanced Search]

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. 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. The creation of a single organelle from two or more organelles. A process, occurring at the cellular level, that is involved in the reproductive function of a multicellular or single-celled organism. Fusion of mitochondria during insect spermatid differentiation to form two masses, which wrap around each other to form a densely packed sphere called the Nebenkern. The process whose specific outcome is the progression of a male gamete over time, from initial commitment of the cell to a specific fate, to the fully functional differentiated cell. The process whereby a relatively unspecialized cell acquires the specialized features of a spermatid cell. The process whose specific outcome is the progression of an immature germ cell over time, from its formation to the mature structure (gamete). A germ cell is any reproductive cell in a multicellular organism. 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. 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. Merging of two or more mitochondria within a cell to form a single compartment. The process by which the anatomical structures of a mitochondrion are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. The cellular process that joins two lipid bilayers to form a single membrane.
