27. On reason evolutionary biologists think insects are so successful evolutionarily is because of metamorphosis. Why is metamorphosis helpful? a. It helps avoid predation b. It saves the insect energy and resources c. The organism can have 2 stages of evolution in its lifespan d. It allows the insect to highly specialize for both parts of its lifecycle

Step 1
Metamorphosis can help avoid predation by allowing the insect to change its appearance and behavior, making it more difficult for predators to recognize them. b. Metamorphosis can save energy and resources by allowing the insect to utilize different resources and Show more…
