Which developmental error arises when imaginal disc cells experience premature termination via programmed apoptosis signaling?

💡 Explanation

When apoptosis signaling induces premature imaginal disc cell termination, regenerative capacity is lost because surviving neighboring cells cannot compensate for the loss, causing limb deformation. Therefore limb malformation happens rather than hormonal change, early pupation, or differentiation interference, the signaling to coordinate this process must arise.
