← Nature & AnimalsWhich localized developmental outcome happens during metamorphosis initiation?
A)Imaginal disc cell proliferation increases✓
B)Widespread apoptosis eliminates larval tissues
C)Cuticle sclerotization accelerates externally
D)Fat body nutrient storage rapidly declines
💡 Explanation
Elevated ecdysone induces imaginal disc mitogenesis locally, because discs drive adult structure formation. This causes rapid cell division there; therefore, discs expand and differentiate, rather than immediate larval tissue breakdown which occurs later.
