  Biological life cycle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A life cycle is a time of development of one generation of a species, whether through asexual reproduction or sexual reproduction, and especially in regard to its ploidy.
Zygotic and gametic meiosis have one mitotic stage and form: during the n phase in zygotic meiosis and during the 2n phase in gametic meiosis.
In the whole cycle, zygotes are the only diploid cell; mitosis occurs only in the haploid phase.

 The Haploid-Diploid Life Cycle   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The haploid-diploid life cycle is the most complex life cycle and thus has lots of variation.
It is also the most common life cycle among plants since all land plants, the vascular plants and the bryophytes, are haploid-diploid.
This alternation of generations creates a morphologically complex life cycle, depending on the similarity or dissimilarity of the GPT and SPT, the relationship of these to each other, and the nature of the spores.

 The Haploid Life Cycle   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Haploid life cycle is the most common in algae (without dikaryotic phase) and most fungi (with dikaryotic phase).
Volvox, for example is a colonial green algae in which both male gametes and egg are produced in the 1n stage, which then fuse together to form a zygospore, an encysted zygote that is protected from the harsh conditions of the environment.
Another green algae that exhibits 1n life cycle is the Oedogonium, which is filamentous, or a chain of cells formed in one plane.

 Bacteriophage Life Cycles: The Lysogenic Life Cycle   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Bacteriophages capable of a lysogenic life cycle (def) are termed temperate phages (def).
When a temperate phage infects a bacterium, it can either replicate by means of the lytic life cycle and cause lysis of the host bacterium, or, it can incorporate its DNA into the bacterium's DNA and become a noninfectious prophage (def) (see Fig.
In the latter case, the cycle begins by the phage adsorbing to the host bacterium or lysogen (def) and injecting its genome as in the lytic life cycle (see Fig.

 Curious About Astronomy: What is the life cycle of a star?
As the star goes through its life cycle, it moves along the HR diagram from one place to another.
If the star has little mass, it may end its life here, throwing off its outer layers, creating a planetary nebula out of its atmosphere, and a hot, dense "white dwarf" out of its core.
So depending on its mass, a star ends its life either in a planetary nebula or supernova, leaving its core behind as a compact object: white dwarf, neutron star, or fl hole.
