Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the concept of puberty: Puberty is a developmental stage where individuals experience rapid physical growth and sexual maturation.
Identify the typical growth pattern during puberty: During this period, humans undergo a significant increase in growth rate, often referred to as a 'growth spurt.'
Recognize the characteristics of the growth spurt: This rapid growth is characterized by increased height and weight, driven by hormonal changes.
Consider the post-puberty growth pattern: After the growth spurt, the rate of growth slows down and eventually reaches a plateau as individuals approach adulthood.
Compare the options given: Rapid growth followed by a plateau best describes the growth pattern during puberty, as opposed to decreasing, linear, or constant growth rates.
