Which outcome disrupts metamorphosis when imaginal disc cells fail to express the Broad-Complex transcription factor?

💡 Explanation

When Broad-Complex expression fails, altered gene regulation within the imaginal discs prevents cells from adopting their adult fates. Therefore, larval tissues retain their original identity throughout metamorphosis, rather than undergoing premature pupation, developmental arrest, or affecting ecdysone production, each relying on separate hormonal/developmental pathways.
