Changes to 'mating' - Githubissues

pgaudet commented 2 years ago

The term 'mating' (GO:0007618) , definition: "The pairwise union of individuals for the purpose of sexual reproduction, ultimately resulting in the formation of zygotes." means to capture both unicellular mating (or conjugation) as well as animal mating behavior, but these are unrelated processes that should not be grouped together.

Changes:

[x] GO:0007620 copulation -> remove GO:0007618 ! mating; add is_a: GO:0007617 ! mating behavior
[x] GO:0007617 ! mating behavior: removed logical definition, was 'GO:0007610 ! behavior part_of GO:0007618 ! mating'
[x] GO:0034607 turning behavior involved in mating: removed logical definition, was GO:0035178 ! turning behavior part_of GO:0007618 ! mating

[ ] Next, need to improve definition of 'mating' to be specific to unicellular organisms
