Which endocrine regulation change delays or prevents ecdysis in arthropods during metamorphosis?

💡 Explanation

When juvenile hormone production remains high, the developmental pathway shifts to maintain larval characteristics because this hormone influences which genes are expressed in response to ecdysone. Therefore, elevated juvenile hormone prevents ecdysis, rather than receptor modification, PTTH secretion, or neuropeptide suppression which promote molting progression normally.
