Topic: Reproduction (disambiguation)


In the News (Fri 17 Feb 12)

  
  Biological reproduction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Reproduction is a fundamental feature of all known life; each individual organism exists as the result of reproduction by an antecedent.
Sexual reproduction is a biological process by which organisms create descendants that have a combination of genetic material contributed from two (usually) different members of the species.
In addition, sexual reproduction usually results in the formation of a life stage that is able to endure the conditions that threaten the offspring of an asexual parent.

Reproduction is the creation of one thing as a copy of, product of, or replacement for a similar thing, e.g.
Sexual reproduction is a biological process by which organisms create descendants through the combination of geneticmaterial.
Asexual reproduction is a biological process by which an organism creates a genetically similar copy of itself withoutthe combination of genetic material with another individual.

 Color   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-01)
Note that because the color stimuli produced in most color reproduction systems are typically not perfectly matched to the peak response of the eyes' color detectors, the colors reproduced are typically not perfectly saturated colors, and so spectral colors cannot be matched exactly.
It is possible to achieve a large range of colors seen by humans by combining cyan, magenta, and yellow transparent dyes/inks on a white substrate.
Often a fourth fl is added to improve reproduction of some dark colors.

Reproduction, the ability to create entities that are similar to itself
Another exception might be the software code of certain forms of viruses and programs created through genetic programming, but whether computer programs can be alive even by this definition is still a matter of some contention.
Note that many individual organisms are incapable of reproduction and yet are still generally considered to be "alive"; see mules and ants for examples.

Reproduction fees are charged by image collections for the right to reproduce images in publications.
In recent years the money asked per image can be so great as to make the publication of limited-market topics un-viable, by the time the other production costs are factored in.
Corel Corporation established that exact photographic copies of public domain works of art are not copyrightable under United States law.

 seed - Article and Reference from OnPedia.com
A seed is the ripened ovule of gymnosperm or angiosperm plants.
The importance of the seed relative to more primitive forms of reproduction and dispersal is attested to by the success of these two groups of plants in dominating the landscape.
Consequently, plants have evolved many ways to disperse and spread the population through their seeds (see also vegetative reproduction).

 Wiley InterScience :: Article Full Text HTML
The idea of disambiguating terms in the biomedical context by using the UMLS semantic types of unambiguous neighboring concepts was introduced by Aronson, Rindflesch, and Browne ([1994]).
Because both unsupervised methods described rely on the presence of related concepts in the citation, they might be sensitive to the exact wording of the text in the same manner that the early methods that used machine-readable dictionaries as the knowledge source were sensitive to the wording of the sense definitions.
Disambiguation by means of JDI is already being used in experimental systems at NLM, specifically in SemGen - adapted from the natural language processing (NLP) program SemRep - that identify gene interaction predications from MEDLINE citations (Libbus, Kilicoglu, Rindflesch, Mork, and Aronson, [2004]; Rindflesch, Libbus, Hristovski, Aronson, and Kilicoglu, [2003]).

Many individual organisms are incapable of reproduction and yet are still considered to be lifeforms; see mules and ants for examples.
This could also be remedied by adding the requirement of locality, where there is an obvious structure that delineates the spatial extension of the living being, such as a cell membrane.

 Cat - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
Furthermore, cats are superfecund; that is, a female may mate with more than one male when she is in heat, meaning different kittens in a litter may have different fathers.
The reproduction process can be very loud, as both cats vocalize loudly.
Cats can be surgically sterilized (spayed or neutered) as early as 3 months to limit unwanted reproduction.

 Evolution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Where there are obstacles to gene flow, the situation is termed reproductive isolation and is considered to be necessary for speciation.
One example of this misconception is the erroneous belief humans will evolve more fingers in the future on account of their increased use of machines such as computers.
For example, the eugenic ideas of Francis Galton were developed into arguments that the human gene pool should be improved by selective breeding policies, including incentives for reproduction for those of "good stock" and disincentives, such as compulsory sterilization, "euthanasia", and later, prenatal testing, birth control, and genetic engineering, for those of "bad".

Reproduction - The division of one cell to form two new cells is reproduction.
It is important to note that life is a definition that applies primarily at the level of species, so even though many individuals of any given species do not reproduce, possibly because they belong to specialized Sterile castes (such as ant workers), these are still considered forms of life.
Self reproduction and energy consumption is only one means for a system to promote its own continuation.

 SEX : Encyclopedia Entry
Sex refers to the male and female duality of biology and reproduction, a process in biological DNA that dates back 4.6 - 3.5 billion years.
The female sex is definitely defined as the one which produces the larger gamete (i.e., reproductive cell) and which typically bears the offspring.
In some animals, sex may be assigned to specific structures rather than the entire organism as some species, such as earthworms, are normally hermaphroditic.

 Articles - Virus   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-01)
Typically viruses carry a small amount of genetic material, either in the form of DNA or RNA, but not both, surrounded by some form of protective coat consisting of proteins, lipids, glycoproteins or a combination.
The viral genome codes for the proteins that constitute this protective coat, as well as for those proteins required for viral reproduction that are not provided by the host cell.
Some viruses, like herpes, cause the host to produce three kinds of proteins: early proteins, enzymes used in nucleic acid replication; late proteins, proteins used to construct the virus coat; and lytic proteins, enzymes used to break open the cell for viral exit.

 Alternate uses see Life disambiguation Life disambiguation Life...
:"Alternate uses: see Life (disambiguation) Life (disambiguation)" "Life" is a multi-faceted concept with no simple definition, in part because the word is often used in an intentionally open-ended way, as exemplified by phrases such as "eternal life eternal life", "artificial life artificial life", and "extraterrestrial life extraterrestrial life".
Note that many individual organisms are incapable of reproduction and yet are still generally considered to be "alive"; see mule mules and ant ants for examples.
However, these exceptions can be accounted for by applying the definition of life on the level of entire species species or of individual gene genes.
