Cytogony

Cytogony ( Greek ) is the simplest form of reproduction in the animal kingdom, namely with protozoa . Daughter cells, also known as germ cells , are pinched off from the mother organism. Most protozoa reproduce this way. The starting point can be a single cell (agametic monocytogenic reproduction, agametic cytogony) or a group of cells (polycytogenic reproduction).
