Question

Growth in girls starts and stops earlier than growth in boys.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A

True

A rapid increase in height, referred to as a growth spurt usually accompanies puberty. The growth spurt characteristically occurs earlier in girls than in boys. Girls have the growth spurt approximately about two years earlier than boys. In girls, the growth spurt typically slows down by the onset of menstruation. Hence, growth in girls also stops earlier than boys.
