← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome results from the endocrine gland failing during the larval stage?
A)Death before reaching reproductive maturity✓
B)Accelerated growth to pupal stage
C)Production of hormone inhibiting metamorphosis
D)Enhanced chitin synthesis and molting rate
💡 Explanation
The endocrine gland produces hormones necessary for molting; its failure causes death due to incomplete development because without hormonal signals for molting the larva cannot progress through its life stages; therefore it halts, rather than accelerates, development.
