General Information
Term gonad development ID (Ontology) GO:0008406 (Gene Ontology)
Definition The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the gonad over time, from its formation to the mature structure. The gonad is an animal organ that produces gametes; in some species it also produces hormones.[ ISBN:0198506732 ]
