← Nature & AnimalsWhich mechanism governs the caste determination of larval honeybees?
A)Differential gene expression by nutrition✓
B)Chromosomal deletion during cell division
C)Direct neural stimulation by adults
D)Mutations induced by environmental toxins
💡 Explanation
Differential gene expression dictates caste formation because royal jelly triggers epigenetic changes, therefore larvae become queens rather than workers whose diet lacks royal jelly, leading to suppressed development of queen characteristics.
