← Nature & AnimalsWhich biological consequence of juvenile hormone analog pesticide application blocks insect maturation?
A)Persistent larval stage maintenance✓
B)Accelerated pupal development
C)Premature adult reproductive capability
D)Disrupted exoskeleton sclerotization
💡 Explanation
When juvenile hormone analogs are applied, insects experience continued activation of the juvenile hormone receptor because the analog mimics the hormone, preventing progression to the pupal and adult stages. Therefore, the larval stage persists, rather than accelerating development, maturing early, or disrupting exoskeleton formation, which involve different hormonal controls.
