| Question | Answer |

| The length of time an organism can usually live in the wild | Life span |
| The process in which organisms undergo four growth stages including 1) egg, 2) larva, 3) pupa, and 4) adult (i.e. butterflies) | Complete metamorphosis |
| This happens when the life cycle of a living thing does not include the pupa growth stage (i.e. grasshoppers, termites) | Incomplete metamorphosis |
| When an animal sheds its outer skeleton and grows a new one | Molting |
| A form of reproduction in living organisms in which new individuals form from outgrowths (buds) on the bodies of mature organisms (i.e. hydra) | Budding |
| An exact copy of its parent | Clone |
| The type of reproduction that requires cells from TWO parents | Fertilization |
| The passing of traits that are identical to those of its parent | Heredity |
| A set of actions that parents pass on to their offspring; actions that a living thing is born with and does not need to learn (i.e. blinking) | Inherited behavior |
| A way of acting that a living thing does not have to learn; acting without having to think about it (i.e. birds build nests) | Instinct |
| The change in behavior as a result of practice, training, or experience (i.e. reading, riding a bike) | Learned behavior |
| Name the 4 stages of complete metamorphosis | 1) egg 2) larva 3) pupa 4) adult |
