Distinguish between allometric and isometric growth
Answers
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
