← Nature & AnimalsWhich consequence occurs when songbirds' syrinx air sacs degenerate?
A)Reduced oxygen uptake during flight
B)Diminuation of complex song structures✓
C)Increased susceptibility to avian tuberculosis
D)Misalignment during beak synchronization phase
💡 Explanation
Degeneration affects vocalization because the syrinx's myoelastic-aerodynamic mechanism produces complex calls; therefore, songbirds' songs become less elaborate, rather than suffering respiratory issues or tuberculosis because related but distinct anatomical functions are unaffected.
