Explanation:
1. Asexual reproduction involves one parent and produces offspring that are genetically identical to each other and to the parent. ... During sexual reproduction, two haploid gametes join in the process of fertilization to produce a diploid zygote.
2. The transformation of larva into an adult through drastic changes is called metamorphosis. ... Moreover, the tadpole develops limbs as it changes into an adult frog. This transformation of early tadpole to an adult frog is called metamorphosis.
3. The process of reproduction ensures that a plant or animal species does not disappear from Earth. This process is very important in maintaining stability in the ecosystem and for the continuation of life on earth. Had there been no reproduction, all the species would have become extinct.
4.Menstruation, or period, is normal vaginal bleeding that occurs as part of a woman's monthly cycle. Every month, your body prepares for pregnancy. If no pregnancy occurs, the uterus, or womb, sheds its lining. The menstrual blood is partly blood and partly tissue from inside the uterus.
5. Cell division is the process by which a parent cell divides into two or more daughter cells. Cell division usually occurs as part of a larger cell cycle. ... Meiosis results in four haploid daughter cells by undergoing one round of DNA replication followed by two divisions.
6. Metamorphosis is a biological process by which an animal physically develops after birth or hatching, involving a conspicuous and relatively abrupt change in the animal's body structure through cell growth and differentiation.
7. The Aedes mosquitoes have 4 life stages: egg, larva, pupa and adult. Mosquitoes can live and reproduce inside and outside the home. The entire life cycle, from an egg to an adult, takes approximately 8-10 days.
