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

2 answers:

<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>

The human gene for your muscle protein is different from monkey muscle protein in 4 places and different from a chicken's gene i

Volgvan

Answer:

The human gene for your muscle protein is different from monkey muscle protein in 4 places and different from a chicken's gene in 25 places.

This is molecular biology, and this shows a little bit about evolution because it shows human, monkey and chickens share a common ancestor.

Explanation:

The example shows some features about biology. Molecular biology is focused on all the components and elements of molecular cells. In this case, analysing muscle protein and genes is considering this type biology.

DNA is the origin of every living cell on earth and is unique for every species. The analysis of protein's DNA is a determination of how distant or close species are.

There are many other ways to relate evolution to the different animals, species or cells. You can use fossil record, anatomy, reproductive isolation, embriology, among many others.
