Antarctic fish species requires an adaptation to cold environment. Living at cold temperature environment would demand certain biological responses such as cutaneous respiration, enlarged blood vessels, and producing greater amounts of fat. Most of these fat are composed of higher phospolipid levels which are primarily due to phosphatidylethanolamine. This phospolipid is responsible for destabilizing cell membranes and make it more fluid thereby allowing unrestricted blood flow. The fatty acid composition of the membrane lipid is important for membrane fluidity, this is mainly attributed to unsaturated fatty acids which are responsible for decreasing the order of membrane lipids thereby decreasing viscosity. At extremely low temperatures, organisms with low concentration of unsaturated fatty acids would freeze cell membranes. That's why antarctic fishes have higher levels of unsaturated fatty acids.

I'm not sure if I will answer the question you asked, as I many have interpreted it incorrectly. In natural selection, there must be variance in the gene pool, the total frequency of alleles in a population. Now, one of the organisms may have a gene that somehow helps them survive from the selective force much better compared to the others. If this does happen, over time the gene pool will narrow down to become just the genes of that organism that survived better in the first place because the rest would be taken care of by the selective force. So, the alleles and trait come from the first organisms that had the advantage over the others of its species.
Answer:
The half of the Moon that points toward the Sun looks bright because it is lit by sunlight. The Moon appears to change shape because we see different amounts of the lit part as the Moon orbits Earth. ... As it moves around Earth, more and more of the lit side comes into view.
