← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome occurs when luciferase production fails within Anglerfish photophores?
A)Reduced oxygen diffusion into tissue
B)Diminished bioluminescence signal output✓
C)Enhanced counter-illumination camouflage
D)Increased symbiotic bacterial metabolism
💡 Explanation
Diminished bioluminescence results because luciferase catalyzes the reaction producing light in photophores via bioluminescence, therefore signal output decreases, rather than oxygen being affected directly or bacterial metabolism being enhanced. Reduced light hampers attracting prey especially.
