Which outcome occurs when cuticular proteins crosslink prematurely in larval insects?

💡 Explanation

Impaired expansion happens because premature crosslinking via sclerotization restricts cuticle flexibility, therefore preventing expansion rather than allowing the normal molting process, given that successful molting depends on pliability for the new cuticle to expand.
