← Nature & AnimalsWhich consequence results when a lanternfish's bioluminescent lure ceases functioning during mating season?
A)Disrupted synchronous spawning of coral
B)Reduced availability of dissolved oxygen
C)Decreased predator avoidance capability immediately
D)Impaired mate selection based on species recognition✓
💡 Explanation
Impaired mate selection occurs because bioluminescence functions as species-specific signaling via inter-species 'lock-and-key' mechanism; therefore female anglerfish identify compatible mates rather than incorrect matches that do not support offspring vitality.
