Reproduction through sexual union; the process of two organisms combining genetic material to create offspring.
From Greek 'gamos' (marriage/sexual union) + '-gamy' (marriage/sexual union). Root meaning literally 'sexual marriage,' contrasting with asexual reproduction.
Gamogamy is why you look like your parents—it's the biological reason sexual reproduction creates variation, which is the whole engine of evolution and why organisms adapted so differently to survive.
