← Nature & AnimalsWhich developmental failure happens when ecdysone levels prematurely rise during larval-pupal transition?
A)Premature metamorphosis initiation✓
B)Complete inhibition of imaginal discs
C)Enhanced juvenile hormone production
D)Incomplete cuticle sclerotization progress
💡 Explanation
When ecdysone levels prematurely rise, precocious induction occurs because ecdysone triggers metamorphosis, initiating pupation too early resulting in malformed adult structures. Therefore premature metamorphosis is the result, rather than inhibition, enhanced juvenile hormone,or incomplete curing, which depend on hormone balance and environmental regulation respectively.
