What does GAMIC mean in Scrabble?
adjective
technicalzoology
Produced by the union of male and female reproductive cells, as opposed to reproduction without fertilisation.
Biologists use gamic to describe an egg or an organism that results from ordinary sexual fertilisation, pairing it against agamic, which describes reproduction that happens without that union, as in some insects and plants. The word comes from the Greek gamos, marriage, the same root behind monogamy and polygamy, here narrowed to the biological sense of joining reproductive cells. Naturalists studying aphids or certain wasps often track whether a generation is gamic or agamic, since many of these species switch between the two strategies during the year.
How GAMIC is used
Technical biological vocabulary, met almost entirely in scientific writing about reproduction rather than in general speech.
- The colony alternated between gamic and agamic generations.
- A gamic egg develops only after fertilisation.
- Researchers compared gamic reproduction across several aphid species.
- The textbook contrasted gamic offspring with those produced asexually.
- Under stress the insects reverted to gamic reproduction.
