Where's the evolution?

The physics of light affects not just how blue water looks to us, but how the animals living in the world's oceans, lakes, and rivers are able to find food and each other — and this, in turn, can impact their evolution. Natural selection favors traits that perform well in local environmental conditions. Many fish species, for example, have evolved vision that is specifically tuned to see well in the sort of light available where they live. But even beyond simple adaptation, the physics of light can lead to speciation. In fact, biologists recently demonstrated that the light penetrating to different depths of Africa's Lake Victoria seems to have played a role in promoting a massive evolutionary radiation. More than 500 species of often brightly colored cichlid fish have evolved there in just a few hundred thousand years!

Answer:

Cnidarians.

Explanation:

Cnidarians are known as the marine invertebrates, and also called as Coelenterata, they belong to phylum Cnidaria. Cnidarians include sea fans, sea pens, corals, hydra, jellyfish, and sea anemones. They belong to four classes: Anthozoa, Cubozoa, Hydrozoa, Scyphozoa.

Cnidarian captures its prey with the help of nematocysts which are thread-like tubes, coiled, and sticky. Nematocysts contain toxin by the release of this toxin corals hunt their prey, and even while they are stuck to the ocean floor.

natima [27]

Answer: This told him that the allele for a green pod is dominant to the allele for yellow pods.

Explanation: Dominant traits will express themselves even if the allele for the other trait is there. If all of the offspring were green even though they carried the allele for a yellow pod, green must be dominant.

Answer:

Endosymbiosis of an oxygen-using scavenger bacterium in a larger host cell−the endosymbiont evolved into lysosomes.

Explanation:

The evolution of eukaryotic cells in all probability included: endosymbiosis of an oxygen-utilizing bacterium in a bigger host cell−the endosymbiont developed into mitochondria. development of an endomembrane framework and consequent advancement of mitochondria from a segment of the Golgi. endosymbiosis of an oxygen-utilizing photosynthetic bacterium in a bigger host cell−the endosymbiont advanced into mitochondria. endosymbiosis of an oxygen-utilizing scrounger bacterium in a bigger host cell−the endosymbiont developed into lysosomes.
