Question

Growth of girls stop at an age earlier than that of 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, with girls having the growth spurt approximately two years prior to boys, on average. In girls, the growth spurt typically slows down by the onset of menstruation. Hence, growth of girls stops earlier than boys.
