Which outcome occurs when ecdysone pulses are absent during Drosophila pupation?

A)Impaired imaginal disc differentiation
B)Accelerated larval molting stages
C)Suppressed juvenile hormone production
D)Enhanced developmental timing precision

💡 Explanation

Ecdysone initiates pupation, promoting imaginal disc development via cell signaling; without it, **apoptosis inhibition** fails. Therefore, disc structures imperfectly differentiate, rather than accelerate molting stages because this hormone triggers and sustains the changes.
