← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome impairs limb regeneration if 'critical mass' thresholds are not reached in insect imaginal discs following partial amputation in larval stages?
A)Initiation of wound-healing responses
B)Apoptosis cascade within regeneration blastema
C)Differentiation of pre-apoptotic cells
D)Suppression of cell proliferation response✓
💡 Explanation
If limb tissue removal reduces the cellular mass of imaginal discs below a threshold, then 'compensatory proliferation' cannot occur because imaginal disc cells require paracrine signaling for adequate division stimulation; therefore sufficient cell proliferation response is hindered, rather than apoptosis proceeding at an elevated rate.
