Which consequence results when a moth larva experiences premature ecdysone release?

A)Accelerated growth to oversized final morph
B)Premature metamorphosis prevents full development
C)Extended larval stage; failed pupation
D)Super-sized pupa; multiple adult features

💡 Explanation

Premature ecdysone causes development to halt because the initiated ecdysone signaling pathway shortcuts the necessary larval development stages. Therefore, the moth undergoes premature metamorphosis rather than completing its larval development. Stages can’t be skipped completely.
