← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome results when a specific larval hormone production ceases?
A)Inhibition of growth related cell-expansion
B)Premature activation of the molting cascade✓
C)Triggered degradation of crucial nutrient reserves
D)Disrupted homeostasis causing systemic cellular damage
💡 Explanation
Premature pupation occurs if the juvenile hormone supply stops, because it affects the inhibition of pupal development. This allows for metamorphosis through the prothoracicotropic hormone cascade rather than continued larval growth, because juvenile hormone regulates key development thresholds.
