The shift from birth or emergence to adulthood in the life cycle of some animals is known as metamorphosis. Metamorphosis is a type of indirect development in which a metamorphic animal goes through several morphological phases before reaching adulthood.
- Porifera (sponges), Cnidaria (jellyfish), Platyhelminthes (flatworms), Mollusca (snails), Annelida (worms), Arthropoda (insects), Echinodermata (sea urchins), and Chordata (vertebrates) are among the animal kingdom's 17 phyla that undergo metamorphosis.
- Metamorphosis is linked to adaptive mechanisms in an organism's interaction with its surroundings.
- Many amphibian species have different metamorphoses. In the case of frogs, the eggs hatch into vegetarian tadpoles with external gills.
- During metamorphosis into an adult, several key changes occur, including the development of a big mouth and tongue, the removal of gills, the production of lungs, the expansion of the front legs, and the loss of the tail.
- These physical changes are accompanied by a slew of biochemical changes, including the production of a new vision pigment in the eyes and a new oxygen-binding haemoglobin protein in the bloodstream.
- The adult eats mostly insects and spends some time on land. The tail is reabsorbed, limbs form, and the larval respiratory and feeding structure form during metamorphosis.
- Higher animals go through direct development, which means that the young and elderly look alike except for size and sexual maturity.
