Which systemic outcome arises when insect prothoracic glands fail prematurely between molting stages?

💡 Explanation

Permanent larval characteristics result because ecdysone production ceases; thus, the programmed molting sequence halts after interruption of the prothoracicotropic hormone axis, resulting in larval stasis rather than a fully developed pupal or late instar adult.
