Which developmental consequence arises when imaginal disc cell fate determination is disrupted by mutations?

💡 Explanation

When cell fate in insect imaginal discs is disrupted through genetic errors, normal differentiation processes falter, because proper cell signalling and gene expression are vital for segmented structure formation. Therefore adult structures develop incorrectly, rather than effects on molting, pupation, or hatching which are independent processes.
