← Nature & AnimalsWhich signal enhancement occurs when flashlight fish aggregate?
A)Synchronized bioluminescence diffraction peak✓
B)Increased species mutation frequency
C)Enhanced individual predator detection
D)Reduced interspecific gene transfer
💡 Explanation
Synchronization creates a brighter, focused diffraction peak via constructive interference of light waves from different fish, called quorum sensing; therefore the peak height increases, rather than just summed light because synchronous emission creates a distinct spatial interference pattern.
