Definition
The condition of being produced or formed away from the origin point, or asexual reproduction.
Etymology
From Greek apo- (away from) + -geny (production, origin). The term combines the prefix meaning 'separate from' with the suffix indicating generation or creation, originally used in biological contexts.
Kelly Says
This word reveals how scientists needed vocabulary to distinguish between sexual reproduction (where offspring come from two parents) and asexual forms where organisms generate new life independently—it's the biological version of 'going solo.'
