Question

Endocrine glands of insects which secrete juvenile hormone are__________________.

• A. Corpora allata
• B. Corpora albicans
• C. Corpora myecaena
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A Corpora allata

Juvenile hormones are secreted by a pair of endocrine glands behind the brain called the corpora allata.

JHs are also important for the production of eggs in female insects.

In insects, JH ensure growth of the larva, while preventing metamorphosis.

Because of their rigid exoskeleton, insects grow in their development by successively shedding their exoskeleton.

So, the correct answer is 'A'.
