Continuous breeders- Organisms that are reproductively active throughout the reproductive phase. Example: Monkeys, apes, and humans.

Seasonal breeders- Organisms that breed only during specific periods in a year after attainment of sexual maturity. Example: Sheep, cows, goats, horses etc.

Annual plants- Plants that complete their life cycle in one year. They germinate, produce seeds, flower and die in one year; hence they flower once a year. Example: Wheat, corn, peas etc.

Perennial plants- Plants that live for several years. Example: Bamboo, potato, pine trees etc.
