Which limiting developmental consequence occurs when hormone ecdysone pulses fail during insect larval stages?

💡 Explanation

Insects rely on ecdysone pulses for molting; therefore, disruption causes incomplete metamorphosis, like deformed pupae, because disrupted hormone signaling affects the molting process, rather than only wing development, advanced organogenesis, or lifecycle dysregulation.
