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. 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. null The determination of sex and sexual phenotypes in an organism's soma. The specification of male sex of an individual organism. The determination of sex and sexual phenotype in an organism's germ line. The specification of female sex of an individual organism. null Any process that establishes and transmits the specification of mating type upon an individual.
