What's the difference between apogamic and apogamy?

Apogamic

Definition:

Example Sentences:

(1) We have carried out immunofluorescence microscopical studies upon differentiating cultures of amoebic colonies, which show apogamic amoebo-plasmodial differentiation as follows: Typical amoebae differentiate into mono-nucleate intermediate cells with swollen nuclei and then into two or multi-nucleate young plasmodia (Anderson et al., Protoplasma 89 (1976) 29.
(2) Results of immunofluorescence staining suggest that the synthesis of plasmodial fragmin is switched on coordinately with the synthesis of the heavy chain of plasmodial myosin and other plasmodium-specific contractile proteins during the apogamic differentiation of amoebae to plasmodia.
(3) Uninucleate amoebae of Physarum polycephalum strain CL undergo apogamic development to form multinucleate plasmodia via an intermediate stage of large, uninucleate cells irreversibly committed to plasmodial development.
(4) In npfL+ apogamic development, binucleate cells arise from uninucleate cells by mitosis without cytokinesis at the end of an extended cell cycle.
(5) RA614 carries a recessive mutation (npfL1) in a gene that functions in sexual as well as apogamic development.
(6) Differentiation of two apogamic strains, CL and CH1, were compared.
(7) In npfL1 cultures, apogamic development became abnormal at the end of the extended cell cycle.

(1) It was concluded that they had developed by apogamy, and therefore did not require plasma membrane bound mating receptors, cell fusion, or zygote formation.
