In developmental biology, how are tadpoles and larvae similar in their life cycle?
A
Both are capable of reproduction.
B
Both undergo metamorphosis to become adults.
C
Both are born with scales.
D
Both have fully developed lungs.
Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the key characteristics of tadpoles and larvae in their respective life cycles.
Understand the concept of metamorphosis, which is a biological process involving a conspicuous and relatively abrupt change in the animal's body structure through cell growth and differentiation.
Recognize that both tadpoles (the larval stage of frogs) and larvae (the juvenile form of many animals) undergo metamorphosis to transition into their adult forms.
Consider the incorrect options: Tadpoles and larvae are not capable of reproduction in their juvenile stages, they do not have scales, and they do not have fully developed lungs at birth.
Conclude that the similarity between tadpoles and larvae in their life cycle is that both undergo metamorphosis to become adults.
