← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome influences pupae formation using prothoracicotropic hormone (PTTH)?
A)Increased ecdysone production✓
B)Decreased juvenile hormone
C)Inhibition of imaginal discs
D)Activation of programmed cell death
💡 Explanation
Increased ecdysone production influences molting because PTTH triggers the prothoracic gland to release ecdysone via endocrine signalling, therefore promoting development, rather than triggering the larval stage.
