The onset of puberty in girls usually starts at around the age of 10. Girls on the average start their growth spurt between the ages of 10 and 14, about a year before boys. This is the reason girls are often taller than boys of the same age in early adolescence. The growth spurt in girls is also shorter than in boys. Before girls start menstruating they have already reached close to their maximum height. The period of intense growth occurs from 6 to 12 months before menstruation begins. In females, the growth in height during puberty is accompanied by an increase in hip width.

Distinguish between primary and secondary succession.
vichka [17]

Primary Succession Gradual growth of organisms in an area that was previously bare, such as rock. (For example lichens, mosses, and ferns will first appear on bare rock). The Following Steps: Secondary Succesion It is the series of community changes which take place on a previously colonized, but disturbed or damaged habitat, (examples include areas which have been cleared of existing vegetaion such as a tree-felling in a woodland). Primary succession occurs following an opening of a pristine habitat, for example, a lava flow, an area left from retreated glacier, or abandoned strip mine.


In contrast, secondary succession is a response to a disturbance, for example, forest fire, tsunami, flood, or an abandoned field. Compare && Contrast Primary Succession starts at bare rock. Secondary Succession starts with soil and dirt already there. Secondary Succession takes 100 +(plus) years to develop. Primary Succession takes thousands of years to develop.

If an enzyme is absent during polypeptide production, a mutation can occur.
Grace [21]
If you are asking if it is a true or false statement, it is a false statement. A mutation cannot possibly occur during polypeptide production or any protein synthesis or process. However, mutation may occur if the protein or enzyme is involved in any DNA replication or transcription process.
