← Nature & AnimalsWhich functional shift induces pupation after certain larval stages?
A)PTTH stimulates ecdysone production✓
B)JH overrides ecdysone receptor binding
C)Ecdysone directly inhibits juvenile hormone
D)JH maintains prothoracic gland activation
💡 Explanation
A surge of Prothoracicotropic hormone (PTTH) stimulates ecdysone production, triggering pupation because this causes downstream developmental changes within the larval stages; therefore, the metamorphic transition progresses onto the immobile pupa from the feeding larval form, rather than delayed molting or other larval maintenance.
