Discuss the life span of birth,growth,maturity and death in living organisms?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Life span is the time period between the birth and death of a living organism. The exact value of the maximum life span of an organism cannot be determined by the existing knowledge of an organism, it is a theoretical number. It gives a rough estimate which is based on the longest lived of a particular species. The average life span of organisms is a statistical concept which is obtained from the analysis of mortality data of populations of the different species.
