Allogamy is the fertalization of flowers through pollination, this occurs when a flowers ovum is fertalized by a spermatozoa of another flower. Male gametes are found in pollen of plants, the pollen is then carried by a vector which allows the pollen to be transfered to another flower. These vectors that help transfer the pollen can be birds, bees, or bats. Fertalizing begins when the pollen is brought to a female gamete through the pollen tube. This is also known as cross fertalizationtion, in contrast to autogamy wich is self fertalization.

Allogamy is the fertilization of flowers through cross-pollination, this occurs when a flower's ovum is fertilized by spermatozoa from the pollen of a different plant's flower. Pollen may be transferred through pollen vectors or abiotic carriers such as wind. Fertilization begins when the pollen is brought to a female gamete through the pollen tube. Allogamy is also known as cross fertilization, in contrast to autogamy or geitonogamy which are methods of self fertilization.

or something along those lines. At the very least fix the egregious typos. Maybe consider an RFP request to experiment with a reduction to pc for bit, to make it less likely stuff like this will sit for a week without being fixed. I'd make the request myself, but it's late and I've already committed to the wikibreak so I wouldn't be able to follow up on it. And yes this article needs a complete rewrite, but no harm in patching things piecemeal for now. Regards, 85.172.31.16 (talk) 21:57, 23 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Beget

Forgive my ignorance, but can the word "beget" be included in the description of this article? 2601:902:4301:DF50:58B4:FA17:E7CF:35FA (talk) 05:44, 4 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not every organism is a result of reproduction

some are created from nonliving materials RobertoLion1 (talk) 12:56, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Reproduction and religion

I think in this article or in the article human reproduction there should be a reference to reproduction and religion and different opinions on reproduction. Such as what is in the article be fruitful and multiply and ideologies opposed to that doctrine Rashba (talk) 18:12, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That actually sounds like a different article, say Religious and Ethical Views on Human Reproduction. (Redlink is deliberate in this case.) IAmNitpicking (talk) 17:45, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Rashba and IAmNitpicking: Wikipedia doesn't have an article with a general overview of this subject, but it has articles about related subjects like fertility and religion and religion and abortion and religion and birth control. Jarble (talk) 17:59, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe a redirect? IAmNitpicking (talk) 19:50, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
