Introduction: Insects have soft bodies with a chitinous exoskeleton. Insects have an endocrine system producing hormones. Hormones are chemicals messengers that are produced and circulated in the blood to regulate behavior, physiological, and metabolic activities. Insects produce several hormones that mainly control reproduction, molting, and metamorphosis.

Q28: Please type the answer to this question  Some salamanders exhibit neoteny, becoming sexually mature while still retaining some larval characteristics. In some species, the neotenic characteristics have become a permanent state of the species (obligate neoteny = paedogenesis; both are called paedomorphic conditions). These have lost the ability to undergo complete metamorphosis (hellbender, amphiuma, and mudpuppy). In others, the animal does not undergo complete metamorphosis in nature, but can be induced to do so in the lab.  An example of this is the Mexican axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum), a large gilled salamander found in Mexico.  In some species of salamanders, members of a population exhibit neoteny only when they are under stressful environmental conditions (such as crowding, scarce food, low concentrations of trace elements). This is called facultative neoteny.  Tiger Salamanders (Ambvstoma tigrinum) frequently do this, but local populations of marbled salamanders show a…
