Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

"Why are algae and ferns both green? They each contain chlorophyll that absorbs violet-blue light and reflects green light. They each contain chlorophyll that absorbs green light and reflects violet-blue light. Algae contain chlorophyll, and ferns contain ferredoxin that absorbs violet-blue light and reflects green light. Ferns contain chlorophyll, and algae contain ferredoxin that absorbs green light and reflects violet-blue light."

Answer:

They each contain chlorophyll that absorbs violet-blue light and reflects green light.

Explanation:

Chlorophyll is the pigment present in all vegetables. This is a natural pigment responsible for the color that we visualize in the plant. There are several different types of chlorophyll, however the most common is the one that absorbs blue violet light and reflects green light, allowing us to be able to visualize plants in green.

Chlorophyll can be seen in other organisms, in addition to plants, like algae, for example.

Often the plants have other colors and not green. These planats contain chlorophyll, but they also contain substances that modify the natural pigment of chlorophyll.

A milk snake looks similar to the deadly coral snake. This is an example of A) warning coloration adaptive radiation B) cryptic

Damm [24]

In this case, c) mimicry is the answer. In Batesian mimicry in which harmless animals mimic toxic animals. In this case, I assume the milk snake is harmless and the coral snake is venomous. Since the milk snake has a trait similar to deadly coral snake, less animals would eat it thinking it is dangerous. Over time all the milk snake that look like the deadly coral snake would survive leading to evolution by natural selection. This would lead to more and more milk snake mimicking the resemblance of the deadly coral snake.

a) The deadly coral snake has a warning color adaptive radiation. If the question had described the environment and how the snaked adapted to the environment via warning coloration. This would've been correct.

b) cryptic coloration is more about camouflage with the environment. If the question had state how a certain feature help one of the animals blend into the background. This would've been correct.

d) I'm not sure whats different between this and a so i'll consider them both the same.
