  2. Life history theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_history_theory

    A life history strategy is the "age- and stage-specific patterns" [2] and timing of events that make up an organism's life, such as birth, weaning, maturation, death, etc. [3] These events, notably juvenile development, age of sexual maturity, first reproduction, number of offspring and level of parental investment, senescence and death, depend ...

  3. Cell synchronization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_synchronization

    Cell synchronization is a process by which cells in a culture at different stages of the cell cycle are brought to the same phase. Cell synchrony is a vital process in the study of cells progressing through the cell cycle as it allows population-wide data to be collected rather than relying solely on single-cell experiments.

  4. Biological life cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_life_cycle

    In biology, a biological life cycle (or just life cycle when the biological context is clear) is a series of stages of the life of an organism, that begins as a zygote, often in an egg, and concludes as an adult that reproduces, producing an offspring in the form of a new zygote which then itself goes through the same series of stages, the ...

  5. Restriction point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Restriction_point

    Steps of the cell cycle. The restriction point occurs between the G 1 and S phases of interphase.. The restriction point (R), also known as the Start or G 1 /S checkpoint, is a cell cycle checkpoint in the G 1 phase of the animal cell cycle at which the cell becomes "committed" to the cell cycle, and after which extracellular signals are no longer required to stimulate proliferation. [1]

  6. Outline of cell biology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline_of_cell_biology

    Light micrograph of a moss's leaf cells at 400X magnification. The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to cell biology: . Cell biology – A branch of biology that includes study of cells regarding their physiological properties, structure, and function; the organelles they contain; interactions with their environment; and their life cycle, division, and death.

  7. Host (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Host_(biology)

    If one of the partners in an association is much larger than the other, it is generally known as the host. [1] In parasitism, the parasite benefits at the host's expense. [2] In commensalism, the two live together without harming each other, [3] while in mutualism, both parties benefit. [4] Most parasites are only parasitic for part of their ...

  8. History of biology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_biology

    The history of biology traces the study of the living world from ancient to modern times. Although the concept of biology as a single coherent field arose in the 19th century, the biological sciences emerged from traditions of medicine and natural history reaching back to Ayurveda, ancient Egyptian medicine and the works of Aristotle, Theophrastus and Galen in the ancient Greco-Roman world.

  9. Hemigrapsus sanguineus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemigrapsus_sanguineus

    On the other hand, native crabs also have adapted to eat H. sanguineus, possibly due to the availability of the food source or as an anti-predator strategy. [11] There is a possibility that H. sanguineus could expand in numbers in some areas where it is invasive, potentially overwhelming the habitat and out-competing native crustaceans, such as ...
