Text SolutionText solutionverified iconVerified

Convergent evolution involves independent development of similar structures in organisms that are not directly related. It is represented by analogous organs, e.g., eyes of Octopus and mammals, wings of insects and birds. In divergent evolution, same basic organ becomes adapted by specialization to perform different functions. It is represented by homologous organs, e.g., fore limbs of vertebrates (like seal's flipper, bat's wing, cat's paw horse's front leg and human hand), thorns of Bougainvillia and tendrils of Cucurbita.

Golden knifefish use an electric field to detect nearby objects and to communicate. Scientists know that ion channels in the membranes of the electric organ cells are largely responsible for generating the electric field. They also know that knifefish can quickly turn up or turn down the intensity of the electric field. What type of membrane transport might the knifefish use to quickly increase the number of ion channels in the cell membranes of its electric organ? What process would remove ion channels from the cell membranes?
