Definitions
anisogamy
NounA form of sexual reproduction involving the fusion of two dissimilar gametes, typically differing in size and/or form.
Anisogamy is common in many species, where the male gamete is small and motile, and the female gamete is larger and non-motile.
The condition or state of a species in which the male and female gametes are morphologically dissimilar, especially differing markedly in size.
The evolution of anisogamy is thought to have led to the distinction between eggs and sperm in animals.
