← Nature & AnimalsWhich consequence results when an imitating fly lacking appropriate coloration encounters mockingbird predation?
A)Increased mimicry signal fidelity develops
B)Natural selection favors increased crypsis✓
C)Fitness of gene persists unchanged
D)Behavior adoption offers novel protection
💡 Explanation
Reduced camouflage increases predation, therefore, natural selection increasingly favors cypsis, a separate camouflage adaption, rather than increasing mimicry traits, because the deception signal does meet its predator's expectations through Müllerian mimicry initially.
