Conversation

Have you heard about the new study on agenetic conditions?

No, I haven't! What did they find out?

Root Explanation

Agenetic → It is formed from "a-" (meaning without) and "genesis" (from Greek "genesis", meaning origin or creation). The word "agenetic" refers to something that is without origin or creation, often used in biological contexts to describe organisms that do not reproduce sexually.

Memory Tip

Think of 'without' ('a-') and 'origin' ('genesis') to remember that 'agenetic' means lacking a specific origin or means of creation.
