Which outcome occurs when ecdysone signaling permanently halts prematurely within imaginal discs?

💡 Explanation

Premature halting of ecdysone signaling triggers apoptosis because programmed cell death (PCD) eliminates cells; therefore abnormal local adult structures development happens, rather than total failure that would arise during larval differentiation stage.
