|
cellular process
|
Any process that is carried out at the cellular level, but not necessarily restricted to a single cell. For example, cell communication occurs among more than one cell, but occurs at the cellular level. |

GO:0008150
|
biological_process
|
A biological process is the execution of a genetically-encoded biological module or program. It consists of all the steps required to achieve the specific biological objective of the module. A biological process is accomplished by a particular set of molecular functions carried out by specific gene products (or macromolecular complexes), often in a highly regulated manner and in a particular temporal sequence. |
|
GO:0022414
|
reproductive process
|
A biological process that directly contributes to the process of producing new individuals by one or two organisms. The new individuals inherit some proportion of their genetic material from the parent or parents. |
|
GO:0019953
|
sexual reproduction
|
A type of reproduction that combines the genetic material of two gametes (such as a sperm or egg cell or fungal spores). The gametes have an haploid genome (with a single set of chromosomes, the product of a meiotic division) and combines with one another to produce a zygote (diploid). |
|
GO:0048609
|
multicellular organismal reproductive process
|
The process, occurring above the cellular level, that is pertinent to the reproductive function of a multicellular organism. This includes the integrated processes at the level of tissues and organs. |
|
GO:0007276
|
gamete generation
|
The generation and maintenance of gametes in a multicellular organism. A gamete is a haploid reproductive cell. |
|
GO:0008283
|
cell population proliferation
|
The multiplication or reproduction of cells, resulting in the expansion of a cell population. |
|
GO:0036093
|
germ cell proliferation
|
The multiplication or reproduction of germ cells, reproductive cells in multicellular organisms, resulting in the expansion of a cell population. |
