← Nature & AnimalsWhich effect occurs when imaginal disc development is disrupted by precise high-frequency sound waves in pupae?
A)Development of duplicated body segments
B)Failure of specific adult structures✓
C)Increased production of juvenile hormone
D)Delayed pupation phase transitions
💡 Explanation
When sound waves disrupt imaginal disc cellular organization, apoptosis within key morphogenetic regions occurs because the high frequency energy exceeds cellular tolerance thresholds, inhibiting differentiation into adult structures. Therefore failure of specific structures in the developed insect results, rather than segmentation errors, hormonal changes or pupation effects which impact earlier development stages.
