Lesson: Chapter 14 — Continuity of Life

14.3. Adolescence 5 of 5

Question 5

How do the lists of adolescent changes in males and in females differ from each other?

The right answer is the one marked above.

Females typically begin about three years earlier, and two hormones drive the changes rather than one. Roughly 10 to 14 years against 13 to 16.

Almost everything else is common to both lists — hair growing around the reproductive organs, rapid growth of bones and muscles, and the body enlarging. The differences are narrower than they first look.

Answer the question to continue.
