Which consequence results when insufficient PTTH secretion affects larval insects?

💡 Explanation

Reduced PTTH secretion inhibits ecdysone production, because ecdysone is stimulated by PTTH, so molting inhibition occurs rather than progression. Without sufficient ecdysone, the insect can't trigger metamorphosis; therefore, larval growth stalls rather than accelerating metamorphosis or pupation.
