← Nature & AnimalsWhich growth outcome occurs when larval feeding exceeds thresholds in holometabolous insects?
A)Larger imaginal discs form rapidly✓
B)Molt timing becomes permanently delayed
C)Specific hormones synthesis significantly increases
D)Pupa forms with smaller wing buds
💡 Explanation
Larval feeding triggers larger imaginal discs through increased cellular mitosis, because surplus nutrition availability enhances tissue growth during metamorphosis stages; therefore bigger adult structures, rather than smaller ones will develop, because delayed molting requires different nutritional constraint conditions.
