Which localized developmental outcome happens during metamorphosis initiation?

💡 Explanation

Elevated ecdysone induces imaginal disc mitogenesis locally, because discs drive adult structure formation. This causes rapid cell division there; therefore, discs expand and differentiate, rather than immediate larval tissue breakdown which occurs later.
