Mammalian Senescence

Part 1 Prepare an essay of about 200 words addressing the following: Explore two animals, and describe metamorphoses in each. How does this benefit the animal? Is this deleterious in any way? What evidence do you have, cite your source(s), and include one avenue of further research that you feel would be interesting. You should not need or use any references other than the class materials. Make sure to write in your own words as much as possible, using quotation marks and internal citations if you must cite the text directly. Always include page numbers if you cite the text.

What is especially interesting or significant about your animal case study?
