In sexual mode of reproduction, germ-cells from one individual have to join together.
At maturity, the rate of general body growth in humans begins to slow down.
At maturity, the rate of general body growth in humans begins to get faster.
At maturity, the reproductive tissue stops to mature in humans.

Answer 1

The correct answer is Option 2.

Key Points

At maturity, the rate of general body growth in humans begins to slow down.
This slowing down is primarily due to the completion of puberty and the end of the adolescent growth spurt.
During puberty, the body undergoes rapid growth and changes, including the development of secondary sexual characteristics.
Once maturity is reached, most individuals have achieved their maximum height, and the rate of growth in other body tissues also slows down significantly.

Additional Information

Germ Cells: These are reproductive cells (sperm in males and eggs in females) that combine during sexual reproduction to form a new organism.
Puberty: A developmental period in humans and other animals during which physical growth and sexual maturation occur rapidly.
Adolescent Growth Spurt: A period of rapid physical growth and development during puberty, typically resulting in a significant increase in height.
Secondary Sexual Characteristics: Physical traits that differentiate the sexes, such as breast development in females and facial hair in males, which develop during puberty.
Reproductive Maturity: The stage in life when an individual is fully capable of reproduction, typically marked by the completion of puberty and the development of functional reproductive organs.
