Root Explanation

Isogeny → It is formed from "iso-" (from Greek "isos", meaning equal) and "genes" (from Greek "genes", meaning born of or produced by). The word "isogeny" refers to the process of producing equal or similar offspring or forms.

Memory Tip

Think of 'equal' ('iso-') and 'produced by' ('genes') to remember that isogeny means producing equal or similar forms.
