<prompt> Hlalosa tlhaloso ea lentsoe heterochronynan  <response>: Instruction in English: Explain the definition of the term heterochrony . Response in English: Heterochrony is a term used in developmental biology and evolutionary biology to describe changes in the timing or rate of development of physical characteristics or traits. This can occur within a species or between related species, leading to differences in the morphology or appearance of individuals or groups. Heterochrony can result from changes in gene expression or from environmental factors, and can be divided into two categories: paedomorphosis, where development is slowed or delayed, and peramorphosis, where development is accelerated or extended. Heterochrony can lead to evolutionary changes and can play a role in the development of new species. . Response in Sesotho: Heterochrony ke lentsoe le sebelisoang ho baeloji ea ntsetsopele le baeloji ea ho iphetola ha lintho ho hlalosa liphetoho nakong kapa sekhahla sa ntsetsopele ea libopeho kapa mekhoa ea mele. Sena se ka etsahala ka hara mofuta kapa pakeng tsa mefuta e amanang le eona, e leng se lebisang ho phapano ea mofoloji kapa ponahalo ea batho kapa lihlopha. Heterochrony e ka bakoa ke liphetoho tse hlahang liphatseng tsa lefutso kapa ho tsoa ho mabaka a tikoloho, me e ka aroloa ka mekhahlelo e meli: paedomorphosis, moo tsoelo-pele e liehang kapa e liehang, le peramorphosis, moo tsoelo-pele e potlakisang kapa e atolositsoeng. Heterochrony e ka lebisa liphetohong tsa ho iphetola ha lintho me e ka ba le karolo ho ntsetsopele ea mefuta e mecha.
