What animals change completely as they grow so that the young do not look like the adult?
Altricial species change the most as they grow. These are animals with a relatively short gestation (pregnancy) period, and the offspring are born or hatched in a relatively underdeveloped stage. Examples are most flighted birds (e.g. robins, eagles) as well as many species of simians (apes), including humans. The young of these species are often protected from predators because of nests or dens, as well as a high level of parental care. They often benefit by being born in this helpless state because they are able to learn more about their environment as they mature. Also, the parents are usually able to provide extended care to these offspring, bringing them food and teaching them how to hunt.
In contrast, precocial species are born relatively fully developed (they look like miniature adults). They are often exposed to predators immediately (think, antelopes, horses, flightless fowl) and thus, must be mobile almost immediately after hatching or being born. These species are also typically born with many behaviors "hard-wired" - that is, they almost instantly can walk and within an hour or so of birth, can identify their mothers and flee from predators.

Descibe the life cycle of an animal where the young and adult are alike?
In the case of animals where the young and adult are alike, the life cycle typically involves a process called "direct development." This means that the offspring hatch or are born in a form that closely resembles the adult, with little to no metamorphosis or significant changes in body structure. These animals undergo growth and maturation but essentially maintain the same body plan throughout their life cycle. An example of an animal with this type of life cycle is some species of sharks, where the pups look like miniature versions of the adults.
