← Nature & AnimalsWhich consequence occurs when a Batesian mimic fails?
A)Increased detection and predator attack✓
B)Enhanced interspecies communication success
C)Reduced access symbiotic microorganisms
D)Heightened intra-species competition potential
💡 Explanation
Increased predator attack rates arise because imperfect mimicry diminishes the protection conferred by Mullerian or Batesian mimicry whereby _signal deception_ fails; therefore conspicuousness rises and predation risk elevates rather than benefits accrue without deception.
