#cellular process

• Automixis — A modified form of sexual reproduction or self-fertilization characterized by the fusion of two haploid nuclei originating from the same mother cell or the same individual, without the intervention of any external gamete. In genetics and mycology, this biological process ensures the perpetuation of the species under extreme ecological isolation, allowing the restoration of the zygote's diploid state from a single lineage, though it reduces the genetic variability of offspring.
