Which outcome results when larval insect prothoracic gland function is inhibited?

💡 Explanation

When prothoracic gland function is inhibited, ecdysone synthesis is prevented because this gland is responsible for producing ecdysone, a critical hormone for metamorphosis. Therefore ecdysone synthesis stops, rather than premature pupation, juvenile hormone changes, or apoptosis which all depend on its ecdysone downstream effects.
