← Nature & AnimalsWhich obstacle delays metamorphosis among hemimetabolous insect nymphs?
A)Limited molting hormone biosynthesis✓
B)Premature imaginal disc activation
C)Compromised chitin exoskeleton secretion
D)Accelerated juvenile hormone degradation
💡 Explanation
In hemimetabolous insects, sufficient molting hormone biosynthesis is essential for transitioning between nymphal stages because increased ecdysone levels trigger molting; therefore limits delay development rather than proceeding directly to adult differentiation.
