3 students marked "I sat this"Added 16 Jun 2022Question #100246
Put the paragraphs in order.
- AVision and echolocation have many features in common.
- BOne narrow range of radiation — light in the case of vision, ultrasounds in the case of echolocation — provides information relevant to a wide variety of cognitive and practical goals.
- CWhy, then, is vision so common and echolocation so rare?
- DEcholocation is adaptive only in an ecological niche where vision is impossible or badly impaired—for instance, when dwelling in caves and hunting at night, as bats do.
- EBecause, in most environments, vision is much more effective.
