What is another word for Homogenesis?

Pronunciation: [hˌɒmə͡ʊd͡ʒˈɛnɪsˌɪs] (IPA)

Homogenesis is the process of producing offspring that are genetically identical to the parent. However, there are several other words that can be used to describe this phenomenon. Cloning, for instance, refers to the creation of an organism that is genetically identical to another. Parthenogenesis, on the other hand, is a form of asexual reproduction in which an egg develops into an embryo without being fertilized by a sperm. Autogamy is another term used to describe self-fertilization within a single organism. Lastly, apomixis is a type of asexual reproduction in plants where seeds are produced without the need for fertilization. While all these words refer to similar ideas, each has a distinct definition and usage.
