← Nature & AnimalsWhich consequence occurs when cuttlefish lose substrate chromatic matching?
A)Increased predation incidence✓
B)Inefficient respiratory exchange
C)Decreased intracellular pH
D)Compromised prey digestion
💡 Explanation
Greater predation incidence rises because camouflage via disruptive coloration relies on substrate matching; this mechanism fails if color synchronization diminishes, therefore exposure increases, rather than direct biochemical changes.
