  • Study Notes

    • Growth depends upon the quantity and quality of food ingested, with inadequate nutrition both retarding growth and delaying developmental transitions, such as the timing of onset of sexual maturation.
    • The timing of sexual maturation appears to be more closely associated with size than age, leading to the concept that maturation is initiated once a ‘critical size’ has been attained.
    • Further, during adulthood, fecundity or gamete production may be related to body size, and alterations in nutrition can lead to either depression or enhancement of reproductive activity.
    • The key facts from the text above are summarized in 10 sentences.
