← Nature & AnimalsWhich primary risk arises from inhibiting juvenile hormone production in insect larvae?
A)Premature pupation before reaching critical mass✓
B)Disrupted molting resulting in larval death
C)Accelerated egg laying due to stress response
D)Decreased enzyme production affecting digestion
💡 Explanation
When juvenile hormone production decreases, a premature metamorphosis pathway begins because the inhibitory effect on pupation is removed too early. Therefore premature pupation results, rather than disrupted molting, accelerated egg laying, or decreased enzyme production, which are tied to other hormonal disruptions or deficiencies.
