Because it is a cycle, there is no start or end point, but rather a continuous flow that includes fertilisation, birth, growth and reproduction. Some species produce offspring that are very similar to the adult form, such as mammals, birds and reptiles. Others produce a larval form that undergoes a complete metamorphosis before emerging as an adult form that is capable of reproduction.
Watch the following videos to see different types of life cycles:
