Sharks have small pores in their head that can detect changes in electric fields (they are called ampullae of Lorenzini). The ampullae allows them to detect electrical changes such as those produced by muscle movements. This amazing ability allows them to detect prey that are hiding in the sand. What characteristic of life does this illustrate?

  1. Reproduction
  2. Has DNA
  3. Growth and development
  4. Sense and respond to change

📝 Detailed explanation

Detecting electrical signals in the environment and responding to them is an example of sensing and responding to stimuli.
