Certain organisms (including certain species' of jellyfish) have a specific code of DNA that when transcripted and read, produces a protein that causes bioluminescence. This gene can also be used by genetic engineers to check if a specific gene has been uptaken, as this gene can work in any organism

Do some jellyfish glow in the dark?

Jellyfish can bioluminesce when they are stimulated.

What is the ability of an organism to produce light?

The ability of an organism to produce light is called bioluminescence. This phenomenon occurs in a variety of organisms, such as fireflies, jellyfish, and certain fungi, and is typically produced through a chemical reaction involving luciferin and the enzyme luciferase. Bioluminescence is often used for communication, camouflage, or attracting prey.
