← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome manifests when a cuttlefish transitions from a brightly lit to a dimly lit environment?
A)Disrupted visual phototransduction cell functions
B)Impaired chromatophore pigment rearrangement✓
C)Increased bioluminescence photon emission
D)Compromised statocyst equilibrium maintenance
💡 Explanation
Impaired chromatophore pigment rearrangement arises because light changes affect the cuttlefish's camouflage process involving pigment sacs inside its skin. Reduced light means the neuromodulation signal cannot properly control chromatophore expansion and contraction, therefore its skin displays mismatched patterns rather than adaptive camouflage.
