This article may need work

That article doesn’t have many sources. The information in here contradicts other articles and the article in general needs more sources.CycoMa (talk) 20:39, 30 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I changed the word "gender" to "sex" in the Definition section.

..and added the following comment about the edit: Definition The oxfordreference.com source uses the correct term, referring to "sexual" reproduction. "Sexual" activity comprises things as rudimentary as horizontal gene transfer among the most primitive of organisms, where there no "contact" between organisms.

My education about these matters comes mostly from extensive "Wikipedia-level" reading, while listening to hundreds of journal discussion-based podcasts on microbe.tv starting in 2020 (yeah, Covid...). "Sex" is a lot more mundane than I had imagined it... and the ..other.. word that I occasionally find in articles about single-celled life forms, I think, does a disservice to that word, given its social reality (perceptions, experience, and consequences) in human societies.
