← Nature & AnimalsWhich development in honeybee larvae results when juvenile hormone concentration remains high?
A)Prolonged larval stage develops✓
B)Premature pupation is triggered
C)Rapid ecdysis into an adult
D)Imaginal discs degrade systemically
💡 Explanation
A high concentration of juvenile hormone during honeybee larval development causes the Prothoracicotropic hormone (PTTH), which promotes larval retention and feeding, because this hormone must drop to induce pupation; therefore, maturation stalls, rather than accelerating it or causing tissue degradation.
