Which outcome occurs when a larval insect's prothoracic glands fail to produce ecdysone?

💡 Explanation

When prothoracic glands fail, ecdysone production ceases, because this hormone triggers molting cycles necessary for growth by stimulating production of new exoskeleton. Therefore, failure to molt results and progressive decline occurs rather than progressing development or immediate resorption which require hormonal interactions.
