reproduction
Let an agent handle reproduction as a biological process across organisms, with modes, stages and factors, in a factual and age-appropriate way.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent handle reproduction as a biological process across organisms, with modes, stages and factors, in a factual and age-appropriate way.
The biological process by which organisms produce offspring, sexually or asexually, including plant propagation such as grafting.
What it is for: Continuation of species; applied in agriculture, conservation and medicine.
It can be study it, in biology; manage it, in breeding and conservation; assist it, in medicine under regulation; propagate plants, by seeds or grafting.
Distinguishing features
Produces new individuals
Sexual and asexual modes
Varies greatly across organisms
Human reproductive health is a medical topic with its own care pathways
What it looks like
Varies: flowers and seeds, eggs, births, cell division, cuttings and grafts.
How it is recognised

Mode How organisms reproduce.
Mode defines the process.
Type
Sexual or asexual.
Mode
Mode of reproduction.
- Is reproduction sexual or asexual in this organism? definition
- What is the mechanism? definition
Organism
Which organism.
Organism
Organism concerned.
- Which organism is involved? definition
- What is its life cycle? definition
Stages From start to offspring.
Stages explain timing and needs.
Sequence
Stages.
Stages
Stages of reproduction.
- What are the stages? definition
- How long do they take? measurement
Factors
Influences.
Factors
Factors affecting success.
- What factors affect reproductive success? definition
- How is climate change affecting it? measurement
Management Breeding and propagation.
People manage reproduction in plants and animals.
Breeding
Animal and plant breeding.
Breeding
Breeding practices.
- Which breeding methods are used? definition
- Which welfare rules apply? boundary
Propagation
Plants.
Propagation
Plant propagation.
- How is this plant propagated? action
- Is grafting required? definition
Health and handling Human health and audience.
Human reproduction requires care and accurate sources.
Health
Reproductive health.
Health
Health information.
- Which reliable health source addresses this question? provenance
- When should a clinician be consulted? action
Audience
Age-appropriate content.
Audience
Appropriateness.
- Is the content appropriate for the audience? boundary
- Which details are unnecessary? boundary
What the second pass must settle
- Should modes of reproduction be separate entries?
- How should human reproductive health be linked to medical entries?
- The registry entry has merged aliases about incest that do not describe reproduction; should they be removed?
