The life "cycle" in fact is linear with respect to individuals, but cyclical with respect to populations. In many animals there is a succession of individuals in the entire cycle with sexual or asexual production linking them. In vertebrates, the life cycle is confined to the period from fusing of the gametes to the death of the resulting individuals. 4, record 2, English, - life%20cycle
