Elämänkiertotyypit
Elämänkiertotyypit refers to the different patterns of reproduction and development that organisms exhibit throughout their life cycles. These patterns are crucial for understanding evolutionary strategies, ecological interactions, and biodiversity. Biologists classify life cycles based on factors such as the timing of sexual reproduction, the number of generations involved in completing a cycle, and the stages of development from zygote to adult.
One fundamental distinction is between semelparous and iteroparous life histories. Semelparous organisms reproduce only once in
Another important aspect of life cycles is the presence and nature of developmental stages. Some organisms
The study of elämänkiertotyypit also considers the alternation of generations, particularly in plants and some algae,
