Summary Introduction
To review:
The difference between allometry and heterochrony.
Introduction:
Distinctive structures of the body are a result of the different way that the parts of the body grow and the changes in the timing of developmental events. The morphological differences are established by two main events, namely, allometry and heterochrony. These can lead to morphological differences in closely related species also.
