1883 G. Macloskie Elem. Bot. ii. xiv. 189 It will sometimes occur that pollen is brought to a stigma from a plant of a different species. If the other species were not closely allied no result would follow; but if it had what we may term..sufficient gametic affinity, the result would be a hybrid.

1905 R. C. Punnett Mendelism 25 The theory of gametic purity can be further tested by deducing from it the results which should follow from crossing the heterozygote with either of the homozygotes.

1977 Mod. Law Rev. 40 152 (note) Edwards..draws attention to the lack of clear evidence of a causal link between pre-conception damage to gametic cells and post-natal injury.

2008 G. Beale & J. R. Preer Paramecium: Genetics & Epigenetics iii. 34 Since there is no partner in autogamy, the two haploid gametic nuclei produced simply fuse together to form new diploid fertilized micronuclei, one in each cell and homozygous at all loci.

1904 Biometrika 3 8 The albino cannot be said to be gametically pure in respect of its whiteness.

1960 Q. Rev. Biol. 35 134/2 The substance [sc. parachromatin] is ultimately dependent for continuity on a special class of gametically transmissible factors.

2008 Biol. Bull. 215 196/1 Our results indicate that C[lypeaster] rosaceus and C. subdepressus are gametically incompatible, with C. subdepressus eggs particularly resistant to fertilization by C. rosaceus sperm.
