Cytoplasmic Male Sterility and Related Reproductive Terms in Plant Biology, Quizzes of Theory of Evolution

Definitions for various reproductive terms in plant biology, including cytoplasmic male sterility, genetic imprinting, accessory gland proteins, lack of clutch, and semelparity. Cytoplasmic male sterility is a condition of total or partial male sterility caused by specific nuclear and mitochondrial interactions. Genetic imprinting is a genetic phenomenon where certain genes are expressed in a parent-of-origin-specific manner. Accessory gland proteins are proteins transferred along with sperm to reduce mating and increase feeding. Lack of clutch refers to producing a clutch size with the most surviving offspring, and semelparity is a reproductive strategy of one-time reproduction.
