Fireflies flicker and flash as they dart through their mating dances, all the while transforming a lovely summer night into a magical evening. While the bioluminescence that allows these insects to glow and gain the moniker “lightning bugs” creates wonder in humans, it is a not-uncommon feature in the animal world, especially for fish and other marine species.
National Geographic defines bioluminescence as light that occurs from the reaction between two chemicals within a living organism: the compound luciferin and either luciferase or photoprotein. The ability to produce light is not just a flashy feature; bioluminescence can give the animal a competitive advantage. For example, deep-sea vampire squids eject glowing mucus to startle predators, and hatchet fish use light-producing organs to adjust reflections off their bodies, masking themselves to prey who are hunting them from below. Other animals that glow or flash to get ahead at sea and on land include plankton, coral, and glowworms.
For decades, scientists and medical researchers studied bioluminescence in nature and have adapted fluorescent genes as biomarkers for many applications. That is how GloFish found their way into home aquariums across the country.

We know this thanks to archaeologists who excavated many places and discovered that many early civilizations gathered around large rivers where they could develop agriculture. This was seen in places such as Mesopotamia, India, China, Egypt, etc.
Answer:
The statement that is most accurate of those listed is Option D. Regardless of which side they chose, Native Americans lost land during the war.
Explanation:
Before the American Revolution, the expansion of the 13 colonies westward was controlled to some extent by the British Crown. There were laws in place meant to protect Native American lands west of the Appalachian mountains after the British won the lands from the French and Indian war (also known as the Seven Years War, from 1754-1763). During the American Revolution, there were Native American groups that supported the British and others that supported the Patriots. However, after the war, the new United States government continued its expansion westward and the Native American groups definitively lost land.
Effective political advocacy refers to an action where you display overall intention to contribute with your political agenda. Examples include but not limited to: starting an advocacy group to support the nation in educating human rights and laws, government officials suggesting new ways of voting effectively and communicating with officials about problems with the local areas and create plan to resolve issues.
