← Nature & AnimalsWhich hormonal event disrupts pupal development when ecdysone production is prematurely terminated?
A)Caste differentiation alteration
B)Initiation of precocious metamorphosis
C)Interference with mitochondrial respiration
D)Failure of complete eclosion✓
💡 Explanation
When ecdysone production declines prematurely during pupal development the pupa will fail to correctly develop into its adult form. This results in a failure of complete eclosion because hormonal control is directly intertwined to larval metamorphosis. Therefore the organism fails to emerge completed, rather than the others without the final hormone triggers.
