Reproduction is the ability of organisms to make more

of their kind.
Do all animals resemble their parents when
they're first born?

through
different stages

developing like
their parents.
 SISOHPROMATEM
METAMORPHOSIS
The process of
transformation
from an immature
form to an adult
form in two or
more distinct
stages.
Most animals including
fish, mammals, reptiles,
and birds pass through
three stages.
Before
birth

Adult Young
METAMORPHOSIS
 Complete metamorphosis
Four stages:
• Egg: the unborn
stage; contains the
zygote or fertilized
egg.
 Complete metamorphosis
• Larva: the structure
that emerges from the
egg where the insect
looks like worm the
young stage where
most of the feeding is
done.
 Complete metamorphosis
• Pupa: the inactive stage
(no feeding); takes
place between larva
and adult stages;
usually well
camouflaged for
protection against
enemies.
 Complete metamorphosis
• Adult stage: the final
stage wherein the
insect usually grows
into a mature one
that can breed.
 inComplete metamorphosis
Three stages:
• Egg: the unborn stage
• Nymph: refers to the young stage
where most feeding is done;
exhibits resemblance to the parent
although some parts are not
developed.
• Adult stage: the final stage wherein
the full body development can be
seen like the presence of wings.
