   Reproduction completes and perpetuates the 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 ...

3. Meiosis - Wikipedia

   meiosis. produces four genetically unique cells, each with half the number of chromosomes as in the parent. mitosis. produces two genetically identical cells, each with the same number of chromosomes as in the parent. Meiosis begins with a diploid cell, which contains two copies of each chromosome, termed homologs.

4. Alternation of generations - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternation_of_generations

   Alternation of generations (also known as metagenesis or heterogenesis) [ 1] is the predominant type of life cycle in plants and algae. In plants both phases are multicellular: the haploid sexual phase – the gametophyte – alternates with a diploid asexual phase – the sporophyte . A mature sporophyte produces haploid spores by meiosis, a ...

5. Plant reproduction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_reproduction

   Plant reproduction is the production of new offspring in plants, which can be accomplished by sexual or asexual reproduction. Sexual reproduction produces offspring by the fusion of gametes, resulting in offspring genetically different from either parent. Asexual reproduction produces new individuals without the fusion of gametes, resulting in ...

6. Plant–animal interaction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant–animal_interaction

   Plant-animal interactions are important pathways for the transfer of energy within ecosystems, where both advantageous and unfavorable interactions support ecosystem health. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Plant-animal interactions can take on important ecological functions and manifest in a variety of combinations of favorable and unfavorable associations, for ...

7. Protist - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protist

   Microscopic organisms were increasingly constrained in the plant/animal dichotomy. In 1858, the palaeontolgist Richard Owen was the first to define Protozoa as a separate kingdom of eukaryotic organisms, with "nucleated cells" and the "common organic characters" of plants and animals, although he also included sponges within protozoa.
