Question 1 Report

Which of the following insects undergoes incomplete metamorphosis?
Answer Details
The insect that undergoes incomplete metamorphosis is the termite. In incomplete metamorphosis, the insect hatches from an egg into a nymph that resembles an adult, but is smaller and has no wings. The nymph molts several times, each time becoming more similar in appearance to the adult, until it reaches full size and develops wings (if it is a flying species). In contrast, insects that undergo complete metamorphosis, such as the moth, have a distinct larval stage, which looks completely different from the adult, and goes through a pupal stage before emerging as an adult.
