Which mechanism ensures appropriate timing to metamorphic stages in insects?

💡 Explanation

Hormone receptor regulation controls the expression of genes needed for each developmental stage; because ecdysone hormones bind to their receptors with changing affinities, therefore triggering stage progression, rather than metabolic or structural proteins directly controlling the transitions.
