Question

Samantha recorded observations on the similarities between the life cycle of an eagle and the life cycle of a moth that undergoes complete metamorphosis. Which observation is Samantha wrong about?

A moth and an eagle both start their life cycle as a fertilized egg.
A moth and an eagle both hatch from an egg outside of their mother.
A moth and an eagle both undergo complete metamorphosis with significant change during development.

A. I
B.I and II
II and III
III

Answer 1

C. II and III

Step-by-step explanation:

Observation I is correct, as both moths and eagles begin their life cycle as a fertilized egg. Observation III is also correct, as both undergo significant changes during development.

However, Observation II is incorrect. Eagles are born as live young, while moths hatch from their eggs as larvae and undergo complete metamorphosis before becoming an adult. Therefore, moths do not hatch from an egg outside of their mother, but rather hatch from an egg laid by their mother.
