Clown fish are often found swimming within the tentacles of sea anemone whereas other fish avoid them at almost all cost. Which statement below is the best explanation for this observation?
The spicules of the sea anemone cannot penetrate a slime layer surrounding a clown fish but other fish do that have that neutralizing slime layer.
Clown fish are good at maneuvering between the spines of the sea anemone and use them for camouflage.

- How does a penguin's coloration (black and white) aid them in their natural environment? What other organisms at an aquarium have this type of coloration?arrow_forwardExplain two behavioural and two physiological adaptations that permit insects to avoid being captured by echolocating bats.arrow_forwardYou are a researcher studying birds in an Indonesian rainforest. You have just discovered two new species whose beaks are markedly different, which you have named Laetiphonia orthorhynchus and Laetiphonia rhamphis. In particular, the beaks of L. orthorhynchus are very long, straight and pointed, whereas L. rhamphis have beaks that are quite short, wide and curved downwards. In further studies, you find that the same gene codes for beak shape in both species. In your own words, explain at least two ways that changes in gene expression could result in the differences you observe between these two species. Make sure to be specific in how your explanation applies to the bird species in this example.arrow_forward
