Name two living organisms whose shapes have five-fold rotational symmetry

1 answer:

6 0

Rotational symmetry is radial symmetry which means that the shape is the same after several rotations. In five-fold rotational symmetry the number of distinct orientations in which the object looks the same is five. 
Living organisms whose shapes have five-fold rotational symmetry are sea stars (starfish) and sea urchin. They can be mapped onto itself through rotation about a central point by an angle of 2π/5.

zaharov [31]

3. any trait that confers even a small increase in the probability that its possessor will survive and reproduce will be strongly favored and will spread through the population.

Explanation:

Natural selection is a nonrandom process by which biological traits become more or less common in a population as a function of the differential reproduction of their bearers of differences in the rate of survival.
Natural selection can act on any heritable phenotypic trait and operate among any entities that reproduce, show inheritance of their characteristics from one generation to the next, and vary in fitness.
Natural selection is the machine that drives evolution. It also explains adaptation.
