Answer 1

Answer:

Gestation period is the time taken for the foetus to grow in the body of its mother.

Explanation:

The statement that gestation period depends upon the size of the animal is true.

This is because the larger is the animal that time taken is a longer to grow completely.

Birth takes place only when the organism is completely developed.

For larger animals it is common that cell division and organ growth takes a longer time than the smaller animals.
