← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome occurs when a peacock flounder over sandy seabed attempts camouflage?
A)Photoreceptor adjustment mimics seabed colour✓
B)Operculum expands for increased respiration
C)Enhanced bio-luminescence attracts mates quicker
D)Increased mucus repels parasitic attachment
💡 Explanation
Photoreceptor adjustment induces colour change in chromatophore cells for disruptive camouflage in sand, because colouration arises rather than a simple pigment; therefore blending is prioritised, rather than bioluminescence or immune activity, and other secondary physiological reflexes.
