Which consequence results when an insect larva's imaginal discs prematurely activate due to ectopic hormone release?

💡 Explanation

When imaginal discs activate prematurely due to ectopic hormone release, abnormal differentiation signals arise due to altered gene expression, leading to non-functional adult tissues assembling within the larva. Therefore non-functional structures form, rather than enhanced growth, delayed molting, or enlarged larva which involve different disruptions.
