← Nature & AnimalsWhich consequence occurs when magnetite crystals misalign within a migratory bird's internal compass?
A)Inefficient oxygen circulatory performance
B)Disrupted cognitive map formation✓
C)Faulty perception of polarized light
D)Imprecise seasonal breeding synchronisation
💡 Explanation
Disrupted navigation results because a bird relies on magnetoreception for direction; thus, the misaligned crystals interfere with the compass mechanism forming the brain’s spatial awareness, creating inaccurate route guidance, rather than disrupting circulatory processes or polarized light perception.
