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 orderly movement of a cell specialized to produce haploid gametes through the embryo from its site of production to the place where the gonads will form. The generation and maintenance of gametes in a multicellular organism. A gamete is a haploid reproductive cell. 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. A process, occurring at the cellular level, that is involved in the reproductive function of a multicellular or single-celled organism. A biological process whose specific outcome is the progression of a cell over time from an initial condition to a later condition. Cell death resulting from activation of endogenous cellular processes. Programmed cell death of an errant germ line cell that are outside the normal migratory path or ectopic to the gonad. This is an important mechanism of regulating germ cell survival within the embryo. 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. The orderly movement of a cell from one site to another, often during the development of a multicellular organism or multicellular structure. The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the cell over time, from its formation to the mature structure. Cell development does not include the steps involved in committing a cell to a specific fate. The activation of endogenous cellular processes that result in the death of a cell as part of its development.
