Which outcome impairs butterfly metamorphosis when imaginal discs lose their spatial organization?

💡 Explanation

When imaginal discs lose spatial organization, disrupted cell signaling alters positional identity because coordinated growth and differentiation guided by morphogen gradients are disrupted, leading to localized developmental malformations. Therefore missing/deformed structures result, rather than premature pupation, delayed emergence or hormone disruption which depend on other regulatory mechanisms.
