← Nature & AnimalsWhich risk increases when ecdysone secretion dysregulation affects imaginal discs?
A)Increased melanin synthesis post-eclosion
B)Asymmetric limb development during pupation✓
C)Elevated juvenile hormone levels maintained
D)Premature adult eclosion then death
💡 Explanation
Asymmetric limb development occurs because hormonal signaling during pupation dictates the growth and differentiation of imaginal discs via regional specification. Therefore, disrupted ecdysone secretion manifests as malformed structures, rather than affecting melanin or eclosion speed.
