Which developmental abnormality occurs when insects have mutations affecting hormone targeting imaginal discs?

💡 Explanation

When hormone signal transduction pathways have mutations preventing access to the imaginal discs, the cell differentiation programs cannot execute properly during pupation, resulting therefore, organs missing crucial late-stage processes compared to earlier ones; as such malformations of the adult occur; B, C and D do not relate the effect hormone regulation and development.
