- Organogenesis - n. - The germ history of the organs and systems of organs, -- a branch of morphogeny.
- Gonad - n. - One of the masses of generative tissue primitively alike in both sexes, but giving rise to either an ovary or a testis; a generative gland; a germ gland.
- Morphogeny - n. - History of the evolution of forms; that part of ontogeny that deals with the germ history of forms; -- distinguished from physiogeny.
- Sankhya - n. - A Hindoo system of philosophy which refers all things to soul and a rootless germ called prakriti, consisting of three elements, goodness, passion, and darkness.
- Button - n. - A bud; a germ of a plant.
- Differentiation - n. - The gradual formation or production of organs or parts by a process of evolution or development, as when the seed develops the root and the stem, the initial stem develops the leaf, branches, and flower buds; or in animal life, when the germ evolves the digestive and other organs and members, or when the animals as they advance in organization acquire special organs for specific purposes.
- Syngenesis - n. - A theory of generation in which each germ is supposed to contain the germs of all subsequent generations; -- the opposite of epigenesis.
- Pseudovum - n. - An egglike germ produced by the agamic females of some insects and other animals, and by the larvae of certain insects. It is capable of development without fertilization. See Illust. of Paedogenesis.
- Impregnation - n. - The fusion of a female germ cell (ovum) with a male germ cell (in animals, a spermatozoon) to form a single new cell endowed with the power of developing into a new individual; fertilization; fecundation.
- Mesothelium - n. - Epithelial mesoderm; a layer of cuboidal epithelium cells, formed from a portion of the mesoderm during the differetiation of the germ layers. It constitutes the boundary of the c/lum.
- Egg - n. - A simple cell, from the development of which the young of animals are formed; ovum; germ cell.
- Spermatozoid - n. - The male germ cell in animals and plants, the essential element in fertilization; a microscopic animalcule-like particle, usually provided with one or more cilia by which it is capable of active motion. In animals, the familiar type is that of a small, more or less ovoid head, with a delicate threadlike cilium, or tail. Called also spermatozoon. In plants the more usual term is antherozoid.
- Physiogeny - n. - The germ history of the functions, or the history of the development of vital activities, in the individual, being one of the branches of ontogeny. See Morphogeny.
- Embryo - n. - The germ of the plant, which is inclosed in the seed and which is developed by germination.
- Mesam/boid - n. - One of a class of independent, isolated cells found in the mesoderm, while the germ layers are undergoing differentiation.
- Ovum - n. - A more or less spherical and transparent mass of granular protoplasm, which by a process of multiplication and growth develops into a mass of cells, constituting a new individual like the parent; an egg, spore, germ, or germ cell. See Illust. of Mycropyle.
- Plant - n. - To engender; to generate; to set the germ of.
- Epigenesis - n. - The theory of generation which holds that the germ is created entirely new, not merely expanded, by the procreative power of the parents. It is opposed to the theory of evolution, also to syngenesis.
- Heterotopy - n. - A deviation from the natural position of parts, supposed to be effected in thousands of years, by the gradual displacement of germ cells.
- Transformation - n. - Any change in an organism which alters its general character and mode of life, as in the development of the germ into the embryo, the egg into the animal, the larva into the insect (metamorphosis), etc.; also, the change which the histological units of a tissue are prone to undergo. See Metamorphosis.
- Evolution - n. - That theory of generation which supposes the germ to preexist in the parent, and its parts to be developed, but not actually formed, by the procreative act; -- opposed to epigenesis.
- Monerula - n. - A germ in that stage of development in which its form is simply that of a non-nucleated mass of protoplasm. It precedes the one-celled germ. So called from its likeness to a moner.
- Germ - n. - That which is to develop a new individual; as, the germ of a fetus, of a plant or flower, and the like; the earliest form under which an organism appears.
- Plasmogen - n. - The important living portion of protoplasm, considered a chemical substance of the highest elaboration. Germ plasm and idioplasm are forms of plasmogen.
- Entoblast - n. - The inner germ layer; endoderm. See Nucleolus.
