A

22
Q

includes, in insects, the transformation of a maggot into an adult fly and a caterpillar into a butterfly and, in amphibians, the changing of a tadpole into a frog. A usually degenerative pathological change in the structure of a particular body tissue.

A

Metamorphosis

23
Q

an internal skeleton, such as the bony or cartilaginous skeleton of vertebrates.

A

Endoskeleton

24
Q
