Question

Which one of the following is mismatched?

• A. Juvenile phase - phase of rapid growth
• B. Maturity phase - phase of reproductive activity
• C. Old age - phase of declined metabolism
• D. Senescence phase - phase of transition

Answer 1

The correct option is D

Senescence phase - phase of transition

Juvenile phase is the period of rapid growth in an individual organism after its birth and before it reaches reproductive maturity. Reproductive phase is the period when an organism is capable of sexual reproduction. Senescent phase or old age is the period of declined metabolism, when an organism grows old and loses the ability to reproduce.
