Summary Introduction

Introduction:

The sequence of the different stages of development is known as the life cycle. It starts with the development of gametes (sperm and egg) and ends with the development of an adult organism. The lifecycle of an animal depends on the way of reproduction. Some animals give birth to young ones, like mammals such as human and dogs, while others lay eggs, such as birds and reptiles.
