| life cycle |
A continuum of phases and cell types in the reproduction and growth of a species. The life cycle usually contains at least an asexual phase in which a cell can divide by binary fission and produce two similar cells (1N). It may also contain a sexual phase in which gametes fuse to form zygotes (2N) and these zygotes produce 1N cells.

| life cycle |
The description of the distinct phases through which each product passes during its product life. This includes phases such as requirements definition, concept design, production, operation, maintenance, etc. [There's nothing cyclic about it, 'life cycle' is simply more euphonic, less doom-laden than 'life span'.]
