← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome results when ecdysone production abnormally rises during pupae diapause?
A)Accelerated metabolism induces premature hatching
B)Arrested development before imago differentiation✓
C)Melanization causes strengthened pupal cuticle
D)Enhanced cryoprotection avoids cold damage
💡 Explanation
Increased ecdysone disrupts the hormonal balance required for proper metamorphosis because the prothoracic gland is prematurely activated, therefore, development halts before the imaginal discs fully differentiate tissues, rather than leading to accelerated hatching or melanization.
