Life History
The term "Life history" is better than "life cycle" especially for the red algae (Rhodophyta). In the Rhodophyceae there are generally three stages and thus "alternation of generations" is not suitable.

Famous quotes containing the words life and/or history:
“I smiled,
I waited,
I was circumspect;
O never, never, never write that I
missed life or loving.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
“The thing that struck me forcefully was the feeling of great age about the place. Standing on that old parade ground, which is now a cricket field, I could feel the dead generations crowding me. Here was the oldest settlement of freedmen in the Western world, no doubt. Men who had thrown off the bands of slavery by their own courage and ingenuity. The courage and daring of the Maroons strike like a purple beam across the history of Jamaica.”
—Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)
