Definition: Relating to the measurement of electric current using a device called a galvanometer.

Example: The galvanometric method is often used in laboratories to measure small electric currents accurately.

Definition: A device that shows whether there is an electric current and which way it is flowing by moving a magnetic needle.

Example: The scientist used a galvanoscope to measure the electric current in the circuit.

Definition: A structure or cell where reproductive cells, known as gametes, are formed in certain plants and fungi.

Example: The gametangium is essential for the reproduction of many algae and fungi.

Definition: A type of reproductive cell that contains half the usual number of chromosomes and can combine with another reproductive cell from the opposite sex to create a new organism.

Example: In sexual reproduction, a sperm cell is a male gamete that fuses with a female egg gamete.

Definition: Relating to the reproductive cells that unite during fertilization to form a new organism.

Example: The study focused on the gametic interactions between the two species.

Definition: A type of cell that develops into gametes, which are reproductive cells like sperm or eggs, through a process called meiotic division.

Example: The gametocyte is essential for the reproduction of certain organisms, including some protozoans.

Definition: The process of creating reproductive cells, known as gametes, which are necessary for sexual reproduction.

Example: Gametogenesis is essential for the formation of sperm and eggs in animals.

Definition: A part of certain plants, like mosses and liverworts, that supports the reproductive structures where gametes are produced.

Example: The gametophore of the moss was covered in tiny reproductive organs.

Definition: A stage in the life cycle of plants that produces gametes, typically seen in mosses and algae, and can exist as a separate plant in some species.

Example: The gametophyte of the moss is the green, leafy part that we commonly see.

Definition: Relating to a stage in the life cycle of plants where they produce gametes, which are the reproductive cells.

Example: The gametophytic stage of the plant is crucial for reproduction.
