← Nature & AnimalsWhich developmental constraint exists when an insecticide disrupts imaginal disc cell polarity?
A)Adult structure malformation arises locally✓
B)Larval growth ceases prematurely often
C)Reduced egg diapause limits hatching rates
D)Metabolic rate drops throughout the process
💡 Explanation
When an insecticide disrupts imaginal disc cell polarity through intracellular signalling interference, normal tissue patterning fails leading to localized structural malformations in the corresponding adult tissue due to disrupted morphogen gradients. Therefore malformation occurs, rather than growth halting, hatching decrease or slowed metabolism which rely on hormonal signaling or genetic expression mechanisms.
