← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome occurs when a disruption prevents localized growth of imaginal cells during pupation?
A)Delayed shedding of larval cuticle
B)Adult structures fail to develop✓
C)Increased juvenile hormone production
D)Accelerated programmed cell death
💡 Explanation
Adult structures fail to develop fully because localized differential gene expression, driven by imaginal discs proliferation, controls metamorphosis; therefore complete structures don't form, rather than larval tissue being retained because molting is independent from disc growth.
