Summary Introduction
To review:
The differentiation of the life stages between the insects that undergo incomplete metamorphosis from those that undergo complete metamorphosis.
Introduction:
Metamorphosis is the process during which an organism experiences a complete transformation in their behavior, physiology, and biochemistry from birth to the adult stage. All the organisms undergo meta-morphogenesis in order to adapt to the environment, which is controlled by a number of hormones.
