← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome results when insecticide selectively targets proteases within imaginal disc cells pupating butterflies?
A)Deformed adult wing structure✓
B)Accelerated larval development
C)Suppressed pupal pigmentation
D)Enhanced immune response
💡 Explanation
When insecticide disrupts imaginal disc cell proteases, protein degradation pathways essential for tissue remodeling are compromised because these enzymes are critical for breaking down larval tissues and constructing adult structures, leading to malformed organs. Therefore, deformed wings result, rather than development speed change, compromised pigmentation, or altered immunity, which involve different cellular pathways .
