← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome occurs when ecdysone production prematurely triggers imaginal disc development in holometabolous larvae?
A)Formation of non-functional intermediate structures✓
B)Accelerated fat body development for energy
C)Enhanced resistance to pathogens via melanization
D)Increased synthesis hemolymph proteins
💡 Explanation
When ecdysone prematurely triggers disc development, disrupted timing of tissue differentiation occurs because the larval tissues haven't completed preparatory growth or hormonal signaling. Therefore non-functional intermediate constructs result, rather than fat body, pathogen resistance, hemolymph synthesis which depend normal sequential signaling.
