← HistoryWhich consequence results when sericulture disrupts [worm's] pupation?
A)Cocoon silk production fails entirely
B)Silk thread weakens significantly✓
C)Fiber color bleeds into others
D)Worms create more usable silk
💡 Explanation
Weakened silk's mechanical properties occur because premature, improper pupation (or interruption to maturation) impacts fibroin structure, disrupting its organization, therefore reducing fiber strength within the cocoon, rather than preventing silk synthesis or changing color.
