Which systemic consequence results when juvenile hormone persists during later instar molting?

💡 Explanation

When juvenile hormone (JH) remains high, prolonged larval molting continues because the JH suppresses metamorphosis promoted by ecdysone, leading to sustained juvenile characteristics. Therefore larval characteristics endure, rather than adult changes, disrupting pupal form, or reducing imaginal cells, all of which require low JH levels.
