muuntautumista
Muuntautumista, also known as metamorphosis, is a biological process by which an organism undergoes a series of changes in form and function. It is most commonly associated with amphibians, insects, and butterflies, although many other animals, including fish, reptiles, and even some mammals, exhibit some form of metamorphosis.
In amphibians, such as frogs and toads, metamorphosis typically occurs in three stages: egg, larva (tadpole),
Metamorphosis is driven by hormonal changes, particularly the hormone ecdysone, which stimulates the molting process. During
Metamorphosis serves various purposes, including adaptation to different environments, such as transitioning from water to land,
The study of metamorphosis is a significant area of research in biology, providing insights into developmental
