Which alteration results if a bat auditory receptor protein misfolds?

💡 Explanation

Misfolded auditory receptors impair signal transduction, because disruption to transduction affects the bat's capacity for spatial awareness via echolocation, undermining auditory scene analysis; therefore navigation and prey capture will falter, rather than affecting wing shape or metabolic resource utilization.
