← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome increases a larval insect's molting frequency?
A)Increased ecdysone production threshold
B)Decreased juvenile hormone concentration✓
C)Reduced prothoracic gland sensitivity
D)Elevated lipid storage capacity
💡 Explanation
Decreased juvenile hormone allows molting because it permits the insect to progress past larval stages without maintaining larval characteristics; therefore a higher frequency of molting into different instars occurs, rather than sustained larval growth.
