Which consequence occurs when magnetite crystals misalign within a migratory bird's internal compass?

💡 Explanation

Disrupted navigation results because a bird relies on magnetoreception for direction; thus, the misaligned crystals interfere with the compass mechanism forming the brain’s spatial awareness, creating inaccurate route guidance, rather than disrupting circulatory processes or polarized light perception.
