← Nature & AnimalsWhich effect occurs when an insect's damaged larval tissue inappropriately activates metamorphosis at a non-critical size threshold?
A)Premature imaginal disc differentiation begins causing malformation✓
B)Apoptosis prevents imaginal bud site development.
C)Increased JH production maintains the larval state
D)The insect bypasses pupation safely growing normally
💡 Explanation
Early initiation of metamorphosis leads to issues; activation of imaginal discs due to injury causes them to differentiate prematurely because the titer of molting hormone triggers precocious development rather than properly timed growth. Therefore, structures malform, rather than undergo apoptosis or be bypassed.
