Why might it be beneficial for each firefly species to have its own unique light pattern?

Biology

AVprozaik [17]3 years ago

<span>Fireflies use the bioluminescence to attract mates for mating hence key in reproduction. Therefore, beetles from different species should have different lighting patterns so that they can only attract mates of the same species. This would avoid interspecies mating which would probably involved expending energy in produce nonviable offspring which is inefficient (hence will be unfavoured natural selection).    </span>

Every firefly species has their own unique light pattern, so they can attract mates of the same species. The flashing is helpful when they need to find each other in the dark. <span> Female fireflies choose their mates depending upon specific male flash pattern characteristics.</span>

What would happen to an organism if mitosis did not occur? Check all that apply.
vitfil [10]

The correct options are:

The organism would not grow.

If an organism were cut or burned, the damaged area would not heal.

The organism would not produce new cells.

The mitosis is essential for the division of the cells. The division of the cells allow the organism to grow and heal the damaged cells. The division of the cells replace the old cells and multiply the number of the cells in an organism. hence, in any condition, the organism would be affected and in the absence of the mitosis, the organism cannot heal and cannot grow, due to non-production of new cells.
