Summary Introduction

To describe: The larva.

Introduction: Some animals including humans develop directly into adults. The life cycle of most of the animals include at least one larval stage.

Explanation of Solution

Larvae are juvenile forms of many animals. It is a free-living and sexually immature form of an animal. Animals with indirect development undergo the larval phase before metamorphosis into adults. Different animals have different types of larval forms that are generally different from the adult form.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The way in which the larva differs from a juvenile of an animal.

Introduction: Metamorphosis is part of development. During metamorphosis, the structure and morphology of the animal are completely changed.

Explanation of Solution

The juvenile form of an animal resembles the adult physiologically. However, it is sexually immature. Therefore, the larva differs from the sexually mature adult.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The process by which a larva transforms into a juvenile.

Introduction: Animals with indirect development undergo the larval phase before metamorphosis into adults. However, in most of the animals, the life cycle includes at least one larval stage.

Explanation of Solution

The larva transforms into a juvenile by metamorphosis. Metamorphosis is the developmental process, during which the complete change in the structure and morphology of the animal takes place.

The Snapdragon is a popular garden flower that comes in a variety of colours, including red, yellow, and orange. The genotypes and associated phenotypes for some of these flowers are as follows: aabb: yellow AABB, AABb, AaBb, and AaBB: red AAbb and Aabb: orange aaBB: yellow aaBb: ? Based on this information, what would the phenotype of a Snapdragon with the genotype aaBb be and why?   Question 21 options:   orange because A is epistatic to B   yellow because A is epistatic to B   red because B is epistatic to A   orange because B is epistatic to A   red because A is epistatic to B   yellow because B is epistatic to A
