10. The table below shows the data on likely heights of boys and girls as they grow in age. Draw graphs showing height and age for both boys and girls on the same graph paper. What conclusions can be drawn from these graphs?
The given graph depicts the relationship between age and height of the boys and girls during puberty. As per the graph, initially (4-8 years) the height in girls is less than that of boys. Girls between 12 to 16 age group girls grow faster than boys and after a particular age, their height has become stable. Boys on the other hand show a sharp increase in height when after they are 16. Growth during puberty is generally under the control of hormones.
