Heterogamy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Heterogamy has a number of biological definitions:
- Heterogamy is the alternation of differently organized generations, applied to the alternation between parthenogenetic and a sexual generation.
- Heterogamy is a synomym of anisogamy, the condition of having differently sized male and female gametes.
- A plant is heterogamous when stamens and pistil are not regularly present in each flower or floret.
