Sea anemones are bizarre marine creatures that are both plant- like and animal- like, at least in terms of their genetic code. |
 |
Despite their simple bodies, sea anemones possess complex networks of gene interactions, similar to those of higher animals such as fruit flies and humans. |
 |
This refutes the view that complex genetic linkage always equates to complex body structure. |
 |
The evolution of this complex genetic organization took place about 600 million years ago, before sea anemones, fruit flies, and humans diverged. |
 |
In addition, sea anemones also have a second level of genetic organization similar to plants, involving tiny pieces of genetic material called microRNA.
|
 |
MicroRNAs in sea anemones have similarities to both animals and plants, suggesting they evolved before the divergence of the two kingdoms, suggesting an evolutionary link between animal and plant microRNAs. |
 |
Sea anemones' food usually consists of small fish, crustaceans and clams, and even seabirds. |
 |
Sea anemones use their tentacles to suddenly inject venom, causing their prey to freeze and swallow them whole. |
