Answer (1)
Let's evaluate each statement one by one to determine whether they are true or false:
All living things grow up to be similar to their parents.
False. While many living things inherit features from their parents, not all resemble them exactly. There can be variations due to genetic differences and environmental influences.
Most plants begin their life from flowers.
False. Most plants begin their life cycle from seeds, not directly from flowers. Flowers are primarily involved in reproduction, leading to seed formation.
Seeds of different plants have the same size, shape, and colour.
False. Seeds vary greatly among different plant species in size, shape, and color due to the diverse adaptations that plants undergo to survive in their environment.
In animals, young ones always resemble their parents when they are born.
False. Some animals, like frogs and insects, undergo metamorphosis. In these cases, the young do not resemble their adult parents initially (e.g., tadpoles vs. adult frogs).
Many animals lay eggs, which then hatch into young animals.
True. Many species, such as birds, reptiles, amphibians, and certain fish and insects lay eggs as part of their life cycle, which hatch into young animals.
