← Nature & AnimalsAfter a flood alters river flow's direction, which behavior results in salmon?
A)Relying on the magnetic compass
B)Increased gene mutation frequency
C)Searching via new laminar flow✓
D)Random olfactory receptor activation
💡 Explanation
Modified river direction disrupts the imprinted olfactory map, thus salmon must use new laminar gradients, rather than magnetic, because adult orientation depends on olfactory memories formed as juveniles; therefore prompting adjusted search behavior rather than genetic change.
