The sequence of events that produces another generation of organisms is known as a life cycle, which involves various reproductive stages and can vary among organisms.
The sequence of events that produces another generation of organisms is known as a life cycle. A life cycle involves various stages that an organism goes through from the production of offspring to the end of its own generation. The life cycle can be different depending on the organism and the type of reproduction (sexual or asexual).
For example, most animal life cycles involve only sexual reproduction, where diploid parents produce haploid gametes. These gametes unite to form a diploid zygote, which develops into a mature adult, hence repeating the cycle. Similarly, most fungal life cycles and the process known as alternation of generations are also types of life cycles seen in different organisms.
