Which developmental outcome occurs when larva experiences premature ecdysone exposure across multiple stadia?

💡 Explanation

When premature ecdysone exposure occurs, precocious activation of molting receptors induces molting because hormone triggers cascade regulating gene expression, results in earlier than normal transformations ending in reduced size pupae. Therefore pupae development results, rather than appendage loss, segment disruption, or amplification requiring altered gene gradients.
