Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGrowth refers to the quantitative changes in body proportion like changes in height, weight, internal organs, etc. Development, on the other hand, reflects the qualitative changes in the individual. It may be defined as a progressive series of orderly, coherent changes.
Key Points
- Both growth and development are natural processes that occur in living organisms.
- Growth typically refers to the physical increase in size or mass of an organism, while development encompasses the qualitative changes and maturation that occur throughout the lifespan, including cognitive, emotional, and social aspects.
- Both processes occur naturally from infancy through adulthood and are influenced by a combination of genetic factors and interactions with the environment.
- These processes are intrinsic to life and occur without the need for external intervention, although environmental factors can influence the pace and trajectory of development.
Hence, we can conclude that "Both are natural processes" is true for the processes of growth and development.
