The formation or development of reproductive cells (gametes); the biological process of creating sex cells.
From Greek gon- (seed, reproductive) plus -poiesis (making, creation). The term combines root words meaning 'seed-making' and is part of scientific terminology for reproductive biology.
Gonepoiesis is happening inside your body right now—it's the constant biological process that creates sperm and eggs, and it's one of the few processes that actually accelerates the cellular aging clock.
