REPRODUCTION

This article appears in Volume V23, Page 116 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: RAY-RHU
REPRODUCTION , in
biology
 , the generation of new organ-isms from existing organisms more or less similar. It is a
special
 
case
  of growth, and consists of an increase of living substance in such fashion that the new substance is either set free as a new individual, or, whilst remaining attached to the
parent
  organism, separated by some sort of
partition
  so as to have a subordinate individuality. Y. Delage has distinguished as multiplication those cases in which the new individual arises from a
mass
  of cells which remain a
part
  of the maternal tissues during differentiation, reserving the
term
  reproduction for those cases in which the spore or cell which is the starting-point of the new individual begins by separating from the maternal tissues; but the distinction is inconvenient in practice and does not appear to carry with it any fundamental biological significance. The general relation between
parent
  and filial organisms is discussed under HEREDITY and -EMBRYOLOGY; many of the details of the cellular processes are dealt with under CYTOLOGY, and the modes of reproduction exhibited by different kinds of animals and
plants
  are treated of in the various articles describing individual groups. Finally, some of the
special
  problems involved are discussed under the heading SEX. As reproduction is a general biological phenomenon, its manifestations should be dealt with simultaneously in the
case
  of animals and
plants
 , but many of the special details differ so much that it is practically convenient to make two headings.
