Summary Introduction
To propose: A hypothesis that the insects undergo complete metamorphosis outnumbers those that do not by more than 10 to 1.
Hypothesis: Insects undergo complete metamorphosis outnumbers those that do not by more than 10 to 1
Introduction: Arthropods are considered as the most biologically successful animal group. The arthropods are more diverse group of animals and covered a greater range of habitats than other animal group members. According to various molecular data, eye structure, and genome analysis, the pancrustaceans are divided into two groups, namely crustaceans and hexapods (insects).
