Growth and Development. The Biology defines G&D as "The series of changes which animal and vegetable organisms undergo in their passage from the embryonic state to maturity, from a lower to a higher state of organization. We are constantly growing, from our hair tips, to our finger tips, to everything else in between, we are constantly growing. We humans have a tend to have a growth spurt in what we call "puberty." Other organism are like us in a sense. They too have times when they will get larger and reach sexual maturity.
Protist- The protist will grow and divide like bacteria do until they run out of a food source and then stop.
Annelid Worms- Once the worm has split off of its parent, it will grow a brain and all its other organs and then mature into a full fledged worm. When it reaches maturity, it will then split apart, creating a worm just like it and making an offspring just like the parent did for them, just weeks before.
Insects- An insect reaches sexual maturity once it leaves its pupa and larvae stage.
Amphibians- Some amphibians like the Veiled chameleons
Mammals-Mammal Have a point in their life where hormones start to rise and maturity stats to take place. Humans refer to this as puberty. this is when we start to reach sexual maturity.
Non Vascular Plants- These plants start to reproduce as the parent plants begin to lose their nutrients.
Gymnopsems-Gymnosperms reach sexually maturity slower than angiosperms, but unlike their flower producing cousins, their conesand spores have the ability to survive in somewhat harsh conditions and for extending amounts of time.
Angiosperms- Angiosperms grow very quickly and are able to produce fertilization gametes within weeks of breaking ground.
