| These are distinguished from nonreproductive adults by the presence of natatory setae and an enlarged medial region for gamete storage. |
|
| Together the sepals and petals are called the perianth, which constitute the nonreproductive parts of the flower. |
|
| Metestrus may be followed by anestrus, a nonreproductive period characterized by quiescence or involution of the reproductive tract. |
|
| Nests become social if a second foundress successfully usurps the nest with the original foundress remaining in the nest as a nonreproductive guard. |
|
| Apospory is the development of 2n gametophytes, without meiosis and spores, from vegetative, or nonreproductive, cells of the sporophyte. |
|
| The rather uniform morphology of the nonreproductive parts of the plant body as well as the highly reduced flowers make deduction of evolutionary patterns from living sedges difficult. |
|
| The nonreproductive tissues, or vegetative body parts, is called the thallus. |
