Which biological consequence of juvenile hormone analog pesticide application blocks insect maturation?

💡 Explanation

When juvenile hormone analogs are applied, insects experience continued activation of the juvenile hormone receptor because the analog mimics the hormone, preventing progression to the pupal and adult stages. Therefore, the larval stage persists, rather than accelerating development, maturing early, or disrupting exoskeleton formation, which involve different hormonal controls.
