Reproduction or generation involving contributions from both parents; bisexual reproduction.
From Greek 'amphi-' (both) and 'genesis' (origin or generation). A biological term emphasizing dual parental contribution.
Before modern genetics, 'amphigenesis' was the term scientists used to express the observation that offspring look like both parents—which seems obvious now, but was genuinely mysterious before DNA showed us exactly how two people's genetic material combines.
