← Nature & AnimalsWhich mechanism causes increased wing surface area in developing butterflies?
A)Apoptosis regulating cell number via discs✓
B)Increased mitochondrial output boosts energy
C)Enhanced protein synthesis builds chitin
D)Reduced spiracle openings limit respiration
💡 Explanation
Wings expand through programmed cell death controlled by discs; this localized Apoptosis shapes the developing wing surface. The outcome is larger wing area because discs coordinate cell removal, therefore leading to desired morphology, rather than generalized growth or limited respiration.
