← Nature & AnimalsWhich consequence occurs when juvenile hormone analog is applied to a monarch butterfly pupa undergoing metamorphosis?
A)Formation of a non-reproductive adult
B)Premature activation of egg production
C)Disruption of imaginal disc development✓
D)Increased resistance to viral infection
💡 Explanation
When juvenile hormone analog persists, imaginal disc differentiation is disrupted because the hormone signaling overrides the programmed developmental timing resulting in incomplete or malformed adult structures. Therefore disruption of imaginal discs occurs, rather than non-reproductive adults, premature egg production, or viral resistance, which rely on alternative hormonal balances interacting with immunological factors.
