The purpose of metamorphosis is to transform a species into a completely new and distinct form. This transformation can be achieved through various mechanisms, including:
- Genetic changes: Alterations in the genetic code of a species.
- Environmental changes: Changes in the environment, such as temperature, precipitation, or food availability.
- Physiological changes: Changes in the body's internal functions, such as growth, metabolism, and reproduction.
- Sexual selection: The selective pressure exerted by a dominant species on a less dominant species.
