If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
Gradual metamorphosis occurs in many insects such as cockroaches. In gradual metamorphosis, there are three stages: egg, nymph and adult. As nymphs, they moult several times (13 times in cockroach), but once they become adults they do not moult again. Nymphs are similar in shape to the adults, but smaller in size and without wings.
