Which process causes developmental arrest during the diapause stage of insect metamorphosis?

💡 Explanation

During diapause stage, reduced temperatures cause epigenetic modification, suppressing key hormone signaling pathways such as ecdysone and juvenile hormone, arresting development. Therefore hormonal downregulation results, instead of apoptosis, lysosomal degradation, or transcription termination, which involve different cellular mechanisms of developmental change.
