← Nature & AnimalsWhich consequence results when molting hormone concentrations diminish prematurely in lepidopteran larval growth?
A)Suppressed cuticle synthesis cycle
B)Initiation of pupal diapause state
C)Increased juvenile hormone sensitivity
D)Formation of a precocious pupa✓
💡 Explanation
Prematurely low molting hormone triggers precocious metamorphosis involving reduced instar development because it accelerates imaginal disc differentiation rather than regulated sequential growth processes; therefore, earlier pupation occurs rather than typical larval maturation.
