← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome occurs when a migratory bird's specialized photoreceptors are disrupted by an artificial light source on a cloudy night?
A)Disrupted magnetic compass orientation
B)Impaired celestial navigation is seen✓
C)Inhibited olfactory receptor chemotaxis
D)Increased barometric pressure sensitivity
💡 Explanation
Impaired celestial navigation is observed when photoreceptors are disrupted, because light pollution interferes with their polarized light detection during cloudy conditions, influencing orientation. Therefore, celestial navigation will fail, rather than magnetic or olfactory navigation.
