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
What else can I help you with?
What is it called when light is given off by a jellyfish?
The ability for animal life to produce light is called bioluminescence.
Why do crystal jellyfish give out light?
Crystal jellyfish, like many other bioluminescent organisms, produce light through a chemical reaction involving luciferin, a light-emitting molecule, and the enzyme luciferase. This bioluminescence serves various purposes, such as deterring predators, attracting prey, and facilitating communication with other jellyfish. The light emitted can also help in camouflage, as it can match the light filtering down from the surface of the water, making them less visible to predators below.
What kind of vision do jellyfish have?
Jellyfish do not have any vision. They have light sensitive organs, which informs them where light is, but cannot see.
What animal can produce asexually?
A jellyfish can reproduce sexually and asexually.
What type of source of light is a jellyfish?
jelly fish nature sources of light.
What color of the bioluminescent light is produced by jellyfish?
if anyone gets this this right is the smartest person alive
Do animals produce sexually?
Yes, most animals produce sexually, among the few that don't are jellyfish and plankton.
Do jellyfish have eyes and how do they use them to navigate their surroundings?
Yes, jellyfish have eyes, but they are simple and do not have a complex structure like human eyes. Jellyfish use their eyes to detect light and shadows, helping them navigate their surroundings and respond to changes in light levels.
Do some jellyfish glow in the dark?
Jellyfish can bioluminesce when they are stimulated. The luminescent light produced is bluish in color, attributable to a molecule known as aequorin, but in a living jellyfish it is emitted via a coupled molecule known as GFP, or green fluorescent protein, which causes the emitted light to appear green.
Do jellyfish have eyes and if so, how do they use them to navigate their surroundings?
Yes, jellyfish have eyes, but they are simple and do not have a complex structure like human eyes. Jellyfish use their eyes to detect light and shadows, helping them navigate their surroundings and respond to changes in light levels.
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.
Does a light bulb produce light?
they produce protons and electrons they are collition then the light produce and heat produce
