What is the function of ecdysone in molting: (a) initiates the process in response to stretch receptors, (b) regulates the process of shedding the old exoskeleton (ecdysis), (c) causes hardening of the new exoskeleton, (d) directs the epidermis to secrete a new exoskeleton, (e) controls the type of exoskeleton that is produced

The correct answer is B and D

Explanation:

Ecdysis is the molting of the cuticle in many invertebrates of the clade ecdysozoa since the cuticle of this animals typically forms a largely inelastic exoskeleton. it is shed during growth and a new larger covering is formed. the remnant of the old empty exoskeleton are called exuviae.

After molting an arthropod is described as teneral, a callow it is fresh, pale and soft bodied. within one or two hours the cuticle hardens and darkens following a tanning process analogous to the production of leather.

for 8 am not sure maybe yes?

for 9 if it is asking if the male is more or less it would be less

hope i even just a little : )

an organism's phenotype is the  form of a trait  that it  displays. for  flowercolor, a pea  plant  can  display  a phenotype of purple or white flowers. an organism's  genotype  is the alleles of a gene it contains. based on his data, mendel concluded that a phenotype can be  determined  by more than one  genotype.
