← HistoryWhich consequence results from sericulture Bombyx mori infected by pébrine?
A)Increased silk thread tensile strength
B)Increased cocoon filament production rate
C)Decreased silk production thread length✓
D)Improved fiber uniform light diffusion properties
💡 Explanation
Decreased silk production happens because pébrine disease weakens the silkworms via microbial infection inhibiting metamorphosis initiation; therefore, silkworms will fail to spin sufficient cocoon silk, rather than producing silk with greater strength or improved light diffusion.
