← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome prevents complete wing transformation during a partial insect metamorphosis?
A)Reduction of hemolymph hydrostatic pressure
B)Inhibition of chitin synthase enzyme
C)Precocene-induced failure of corpora allata✓
D)Functional deletion mediated by CRISPR-Cas9
💡 Explanation
Incomplete wing formation stems from precocene disrupting corpora allata function altering the normal hormonal balance; this prevents activation of competent imaginal disc cells, because the necessary signal cascade is incomplete, therefore metamorphosis is stalled, rather than proceeding normally.
