Explanation:
Let’s look at part A first: “Life Cycle of Complete and Incomplete Metamorphosis”.
On the left side, we see a butterfly’s life cycle — this is
complete metamorphosis, which has 4 stages:
1. egg
2. larva (caterpillar)
3. pupa (cocoon/chrysalis)
4. adult
The diagram shows:
- 1. egg
- Then an arrow to a caterpillar-like stage → this must be
2. larva
- Then to a cocoon → labeled 3. cocoon
- Then to a butterfly → 4. adult
So blank 2 =
larva
On the right side, we see a cockroach or similar insect — this is
incomplete metamorphosis, which has 3 stages:
1. egg
2. nymph
3. adult
The diagram shows:
- 1. ______ (starts with egg)
- Then a nymph (labeled 2. nymph)
- Then adult (3. adult)
- And an arrow from adult back to egg (cycle)
So blank 1 =
egg
Now part B: “Frog’s Life”
Frogs also go through metamorphosis (complete), but not the same as insects. Their stages are:
1. egg (in water)
2. tadpole (larval stage — has gills, tail, no legs)
3. tadpole with legs
4. adult frog
The diagram shows two blanks with images:
- First image looks like frog eggs (a cluster in water) → so blank 1 =
egg
- Second image looks like a tadpole (long tail, no legs) → blank 2 =
tadpole
Double-checking:
- Butterfly: egg → larva → cocoon → adult ✔
- Cockroach: egg → nymph → adult ✔
- Frog: egg → tadpole → ... → adult ✔
All consistent.
Final Answer:
A. 2. larva; 1. egg
B. 1. egg; 2. tadpole
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of complete and incomplete metamorphosis worksheet.
