Which outcome occurs when juvenile hormone production prematurely ceases in insect larva during metamorphosis initiation?

💡 Explanation

When juvenile hormone drops too soon, precocious pupation triggers due to altered genetic signaling, preventing additional larval growth and resulting in smaller adult size. Therefore, premature pupation occurs, rather than adult malformation, molting failure, or delayed metamorphosis that require distinct hormonal or developmental issues.
