Which statement explains why the tetra fish are able to produce a green glow? Bioluminescence is the emission of light by a livi
ng organism. It occurs naturally in many organisms. For example, one species of jellyfish has a protein that causes it to glow in a bright, green color. Scientists have isolated the gene that produces the bioluminescence protein and inserted the gene into the embryos of tetra fish. This results in tetra fish that produce a green glow.

Explanation:
Tetra fish is a type or an example Glofish that has undergone genetic modifications whereby the gene in jelly fish that produces the green fluorescent protein (GFP) was extracted and inserted into the embryos of the tetra fish thereby causing them to glow or fluoresce in the presence of Ultraviolet light or natural light. The genetically modified tetra fish passes this fluorescent gene from one generation to another.
The aim of this genetic modification in tetra fish was to be able to detect water pollution in the sea using the glow of the tetra fish.
A producer is like grass, then consumers like a zebra will eat the grass, and wen the zebra dies its body breaks down and helps more grass grow. That cycle keeps going over and over, it never ends.
Summary. Multiple types of evidence support the theory of evolution: Homologous structures provide evidence for common ancestry, while analogous structures show that similar selective pressures can produce similar adaptations (beneficial features).
