← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome occurs when developmental signals block larval degradation during pupation and activate imaginal discs?
A)Localized apoptosis does not proceed
B)Reduced hemolymph protein concentration happens
C)Premature adult structures incorrectly form✓
D)The insect reaches its adult maximum size
💡 Explanation
Premature development results because juvenile hormone levels must drop to permit proper metamorphosis through commitment points regulated by the interplay between hormones and imaginal discs; therefore early activation leads to mis-patterning rather than blocked apoptosis.
