Plural of agamete; multiple cells capable of reproducing without sexual fusion.
Plural form of 'agamete,' from Greek 'a-' (not) and 'gamete.' This form refers to collections of non-sexual reproductive cells.
When biologists study agametes in organisms like hydra or certain fungi, they're discovering strategies that have worked for billions of years—asexual reproduction is actually incredibly successful in stable environments, which is why bacteria still dominate Earth!
