AP BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The first stage of incomplete metamorphosis is the egg. During this time, the insect will hatch into a form called a nymph. The nymph is basically a small version of the adult insect. This is very similar to how a child looks like his or her parents.

Detailed explanation-2: -Incomplete metamorphosis refers to a type of insect development in which gradual changes occur in the insect during the development from the egg to the adult. Both complete and incomplete metamorphosis are shown in figure 3. The three stages of the incomplete metamorphosis are egg, nymph, and adult.

Detailed explanation-3: -In biology, a nymph is the immature form of some invertebrates, particularly insects, which undergoes gradual metamorphosis (hemimetabolism) before reaching its adult stage. Unlike a typical larva, a nymph’s overall form already resembles that of the adult, except for a lack of wings (in winged species).

Detailed explanation-4: -Incomplete metamorphosis is a term used to describe the mode of development of insects that pass through three distinct stages: the egg, the nymph, and the adult stage, or imago.

Detailed explanation-5: -Butterflies are an example of an insect that goes through all the stages of complete metamorphosis. Complete metamorphosis begins with the insect hatching from an egg into a soft worm-like shape called a larva. Larvae have a very big appetite and can eat several times their own body weight every day.
