Hey mate here we go

*You will notice that their head takes up a much larger proportion of their bodies than on an adult human. As they grow, the difference in proportion of their head to body becomes less.

*In other words, the growth rate of their head slows down, and the rest of the body speeds up. This is a perfect example of allometric growth.

*Allometric growth is when an organism grows and the proportions of its body parts are different. The word 'allometric' means different measure.

*For example, at birth, a human's head may take up about 1/4 of its body but by the time that same human is 14 years old, the head may only take up about 1/8 of its body.

*Isometric grow is exactly opposite to allometric growth.

*When isometric growth occurs,the proportion of organisms stay relatively same.

The mature organism looks like bigger version of the young version of the organism. Example:This what happened with sponge
