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 by which a dormant state is induced, maintained and broken in a seed. Dormancy is characterized by a suspension of physiological activity that can be reactivated. The type of sexual cycle seen in female mammals, with physiologic changes in the endometrium that recur at regular intervals during the reproductive years. The process, occurring above the cellular level, that is pertinent to the reproductive function of a multicellular organism. This includes the integrated processes at the level of tissues and organs. Any biological process, occurring at the level of a multicellular organism, pertinent to its function. The sex-specific patterns of primoridia growth and differentiation in the genital imaginal disc. The anal primordium of the genital disc develops in both sexes, but depending on the genetic sex gives rise to either male or female analia. Depending on the genetic sex, only one of the two genital primordia develop. In females the female genital primordium develops and gives rise to the female genitalia whereas the male primordium is repressed. Conversely, in males the male genital primordium develops and gives rise to the male genitalia whereas the female genital primordium is repressed. A reproductive process that is a step in the formation and maturation of an ovum or female gamete from a primordial female germ cell. Any process that modulates the extent of brood size. Brood size is the number of progeny that survive embryogenesis and are cared for at one time. The production by an organism of new individuals that contain some portion of their genetic material inherited from that organism. The biological process by which new individuals are produced by one or two multicellular organisms. The new individuals inherit some proportion of their genetic material from the parent or parents. A process in seed development that occurs after embryogenesis by which a quiescent state is established in a seed. Seed maturation is characterized by storage compound accumulation, acquisition of desiccation tolerance, growth arrest and the entry into a dormancy period of variable length that is broken upon germination. The process by which seed mucilage expands through hydration and breaks the outer cell wall that encapsulates the whole seed upon imbibition. Mucilage, mainly composed of pectins, is formed during seed development and deposited into the apoplast underneath the outer wall of the seed coat. The specific actions or reactions of an organism that are associated with reproduction in a multicellular organism. Any process that contributes to the success of sperm fertilization in multiply-mated females. The generation and maintenance of gametes in a multicellular organism. A gamete is a haploid reproductive cell. A reproductive process occurring in the mother that allows an embryo or fetus to develop within it. A reproductive process occurring in the embryo or fetus that allows the embryo or fetus to develop within the mother. A reproductive process occurring in the mother that results in birth. A reproductive process occurring in the embryo that results in birth. The hardening, enlarging and rising of the penis which often occurs in the sexually aroused male and enables sexual intercourse. Achieved by increased inflow of blood into the vessels of erectile tissue, and decreased outflow. The expulsion of seminal fluid, thick white fluid containing spermatozoa, from the male genital tract. Any process specifically pertinent to the functioning of integrated living units: cells, tissues, organs, and organisms. A process is a collection of molecular events with a defined beginning and end. The introduction of semen or sperm into the genital tract of a female. The opening of an anther, fruit or other structure, which permits the escape of reproductive bodies contained within it. The secretion of milk by the mammary gland. The reproductive process by which coagulated semen becomes liquid following ejaculation, allowing the progressive release of motile spermatozoa. The infiltration by sperm of the zona pellucida to reach the oocyte. The process involves digestive enzymes from a modified lysosome called the acrosome, situated at the head of the sperm. The release of a mature ovum/oocyte from an ovary.
