Hi All!

I have a doubt.I thought Mammals have 3 stage life cycle.But today, I found its two from a guide book.Pls clarify for me.
From My Pals are here, fertilised egg----young----adult
Some other guide books young ----- adult
Which is correct?

I would reckon birth rather than fertilised egg since all life cycles start with a birth of a living thing.

So it would be Birth -> Young -> Adult

We should follow the text book, which is \"fertilised egg----young----adult\". I think those guide books got the definition of stages in a life cycle incorrectly.

:thankyou: atutor2001!
How irresponsible authors! Very basic and simple thing they put wrongly and make us confuse further.I saw it in one of the famous author's book.

Well, according to my DS, his teacher said both are acceptable answers in exam. He used the 'My Pals are Here' science textbk, so he saw the 3 stages as stated. However, in the notes provided by the school, they stated only the 2 stages.

Not sure if this is common practice in other schools though.
