Question

What is direct and indirect development in biology?

Answer 1

Explanation:

It is a type of development in which an embryo develops into a mature individual without involving a larval stage. It is a type of development that involves a sexually-immature larval stage, having different food requirements than adults.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Direct development.

☑️ If an animal after birth or emergence from an egg differs from the adult in comparatively minor details (apart from not having functional sex organs), the development is said to be direct. There is no larval stage and no metamorphosis.One very obvious change is the growth of the animal.

indirect development

☑️ Some echinoderms, amphibians and insects undergo indirect development: butterflies, dragonflies, frogs and so forth. The larva or young form of these creatures often fulfill a different ecological niche than the adult animal does.
