Answer:

See explanation below.

Explanation:

Starfish, also known as sea stars, are marine organisms that belong to the Class Asteroidea. They are considered invertebrates because they lack a vertebral column. Moreover, most starfish species have five arms but some species can have up to 15!

Here are some characteristics that differentiate starfish from other organisms and make them so unique:

  • Possession of tube feet.
  • Most species have pedicellaria, claw-shaped structures with movable jaws.
  • Radial symmetry
  • They can possess from 5 to 15 arms.
  • Do not possess brain.
  • They can regenerate parts of their body.

Explain the idea of genetic drift. How does natural selection effect genetic drift.
Anettt [7]

Genetic drift is defined as a shift in the allelic frequency of a population. This can be caused by natural selection which is the differential survival and reproduction of individuals across a population due to differences in phenotype. Natural selection favors particular traits in a population hence these individuals are able to reproduce while the individuals with disadvantageous traits will pass their genes to succeeding generations. This way the allelic frequency of succeeding generation will be diferent from that of the parent population.
