Which risk is elevated when an amphibian larva experiences thyroid hormone disruption?

💡 Explanation

Disrupted thyroid hormone function alters gene expression changes initiating metamorphosis; metamorphosis therefore requires a critical hormone threshold and receptor activation, rather than other homeostatic processes, because the complete transition from larval to juvenile form depends on its presence.
