The whale worms feed on the bones of the whale. The skeleton of the whale consists of huge amount of oil and thus is able to support enormous life. Usually a large whale fish bone is made up of 60% oil which is approximately equal to 6-7 tons of oils. The male whale worms live with in the bodies of the female worms. As many as 50-100 males may reside in one female. These worm species live in dandelion weeds and produce lots of eggs,  grow fast and then disperse fast.

After consuming  whale skeleton,  all the worms at that site will die off. Before dying they release lots of eggs that are transported by the ocean currents and survive until they  find whale bones to colonize

The consequences of artificial selection and the advantages and disadvantages of using genetic information in society. Use facts
Zinaida [17]

Artificial selection or selective breeding is a process of selecting the “advantageous” characteristics from the plants or animals by humans and using them for breeding. There are many advantages of artificial selection:

• More agricultural products, gaining higher profit (for example more milk from cow, or more fruit)

• Elimination of diseases by identifying the plants/animals with disease

• Production of superior breed.

On the other hand, negative effects might also occur, so the disadvantages of artificial selection are:

• Genetic mutations  

• Loss of genes

• Diseases

All of these negative impacts are connected and often arise from the breeding of desirable organisms.
