| GO:0007452 | Definition | Metamorphosis of the imaginal discs, epithelial infoldings in the larvae of holometabolous insects that develop into adult appendages (legs, antennae, wings, etc.) during metamorphosis from larval to adult form. | |
|---|---|---|---|
| The transformation of imaginal discs from monolayered epithelial infoldings in larvae of holometabolous insects into recognizable adult structures. This occurs by a series of morphogenetic changes and during this metamorphic process, adult tissue replaces larval tissue, thus forming a continuum of adult epidermis. | |||
