← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome occurs when a larval amphibian thyroid gland unexpectedly malfunctions?
A)Premature metamorphosis arrested growth✓
B)Enhanced immune system development
C)Accelerated skeletal mineralization
D)Delayed digestive enzyme production
💡 Explanation
Premature metamorphosis with potentially arrested growth prematurely activates because of increased thyroid hormone; rather than a systemic issue, the hormone signaling directly initiates the pupal development cycle, therefore the amphibian could start undergoing incomplete change.
