Growth patterns refer to the predictable ways in which living organisms, such as plants and animals, develop over time. These patterns can be influenced by various factors, including genetics, environment, and available resources. For example, the growth of a tree may follow a specific pattern, with rapid growth during certain seasons and slower growth during others. In addition to natural growth, patterns can also be observed in human development. Children typically follow a growth pattern that includes stages such as infancy, childhood, and adolescence. Each stage is characterized by specific physical and cognitive changes, influenced by both nutrition and healthcare.
