👉 Protopoditic is a term used in biology to describe organisms that are born as offspring of another organism, such as a sperm and egg. Protopods are specialized cells that function as reproductive organs in animals, while the eggs or sperm remain dormant until fertilization occurs later on. The term is often used to describe organisms that have two sets of chromosomes (two sets of genes) instead of one, which allows them to undergo meiosis and produce more offspring.
