In addition to score 3.0 performance, the student demonstrates in-depth inferences and applications that go beyond what was taught. Students will: Analyze and develop an argument of the main reasons for the evolutionary success of Arthropods Compare and contrast complete and incomplete metamorphosis Investigate and carry out taxa specific metamorphosis in the lab.
