In insects, which effect suppresses wing development when juvenile hormone prevents pupation?

💡 Explanation

When high juvenile hormone prevents pupation, it maintains the larval state, stimulating continued molting and suppressing metamorphosis, causing the imaginal discs of wing primordia to undergo apoptosis (programmed cell death). Therefore, apoptosis of wing imaginal disc cells results, rather than other proposed growth or hormone effects, preserving juvenile characteristics.
