Paedogenesis refers to. 1-early development of gonad. 2-retention of rudimentary characters in adult form. 3- retention of larval character in adult form. 4-retrogressive metamorphosis
Dear student,
Please find below the answer:
Act of reproduction by the young one or larval form without reaching the adult stage is called paedogenesis. In this case, fertilization does not take place. This type of reproduction is reported in several forms of beetles and other insects.
Paedogenesis is actually the retention of larval features in adult form. Hence, option (3) is correct.
Hope this clears your doubt.
Regards.
