← Nature & AnimalsWhich consequence results when a chameleon's camouflage fails under intense ultraviolet (UV) radiation?
A)Unwanted attention due to brightness✓
B)Increased melanin production efficiency
C)Disrupted chromatophore signal reception
D)Enhanced convective heat dissipation
💡 Explanation
When the chameleon's camouflage fails because of excessive UV light, predator avoidance suffers by disrupting disruptive coloration function; chromatophore cells reflect rather than match surroundings, therefore attention increases rather than melanin increases because cooling effects are marginal under compromised conditions.
