← Nature & AnimalsWhich risk increases when insect imaginal discs incorrectly specified?
A)Erroneous limb or organ development✓
B)Accelerated chitin exoskeleton degradation
C)Decreased cellular metabolic rate
D)Suppressed endocrine hormonal signaling
💡 Explanation
Incorrect disc specification during insect metamorphosis affects cell differentiation mediated by positional information; erroneous appendages form; therefore, limb/organ structures fail functionally, rather than accelerated degradation, which occur through enzymatic action or reduced metabolism due to disrupted signaling.
