Question

Why does metamorphosis doesn't occur in human beings and viviparous animals?

Open in App
Solution

Metamorphosis does not take place in humans and other viviparous animals because their offspring are fully formed inside their mother's womb. They do not need any further differentiation of their body parts. However, after their birth there is a further growth and development of the body parts to reach maturity.
