- Gonochorism - In biology, gonochorism (Greek seed + disperse) describes a sexually reproducing species in which there are at least two distinct sexes. The sex of an individual is genetically determined and does not change throughout its lifetime.
- Fecundity - Fecundity, derived from the word [generally refers to the ability to reproduce]. In [[biology and demography, fecundity is the potential reproductive capacity of an organism or population, measured by the number of gametes (eggs), seed set or asexual propagules.
