Which risk increases when a dipteran larva’s ecdysone production cycle malfunctions?

💡 Explanation

Malformed ecdysone cycling hinders proper molting processes; premature differentiation may occur because the steroid hormone pathway controlling larval-pupal transition accelerates, therefore preventing full larval development rather than allowing completion, thus changing adult features.
