← Nature & AnimalsWhich developmental outcome ensures a butterfly pupa transforms?
A)Apoptosis eliminates unwanted larval cells✓
B)Gene silencing inhibits unneeded proteins
C)Reduced metabolism promotes energy conservation
D)Increased ventilation prevents oxygen deprivation
💡 Explanation
Apoptosis in pupal metamorphosis eliminates larval structures through programmed cell death, therefore, leading to adult butterfly formation, because specifically localized cell death facilitates coordinated tissue remodeling, rather than alternative cell changes.
