▾ Turritopsis dohrnii, the immortal jellyfish
31 G
Forever Young
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live forever? Most people
consider this an impossible dream, but for one species of jellyfish, immortality
is just another part of life. It's been called "the immortal jellyfish," and it is only
about five millimeters long, smaller than your fingernail.
What's special about this kind of jellyfish is that it can reverse its life cycle
by changing its cells in a process called transdifferentiation. After it becomes
sexually mature, it can force its cells to become those of a progressively younger
version of itself. Its umbrella and tentacles are absorbed back into its body, and
it sinks to the ocean floor to become an immature pod, or polyp. This polyp can
then produce new jellyfish identical to the adult.
One of the benefits of reversing its life cycle is that the jellyfish can survive
periods when food is scarce or conditions are dangerous. By returning to its
immature stage, it can wait out these harsh conditions as a polyp and emerge
again when conditions are more stable.

Though it can still be killed by other sea creatures, this remarkable ability
to survive against all odds has allowed the tiny jellyfish to spread around the
world. Scientists suspect that these immortal animals are being accidentally
ferried around the world by long-distance cargo ships. The jellyfish get sucked
into the ships and are then transported thousands of miles away from their
original habitats. There are now so many in the world's oceans that some are
calling it an invasion.
The species was discovered over a century ago, but its amazing ability was
not noticed until fairly recently. This power to dramatically alter its cells has
been of great interest to scientists who are trying to find ways to cure illnesses
like cancer and heart disease. These currently incurable conditions could be
eliminated by the discovery of how to change one kind of cell into another.

Hihi,
簡單看過文章後，我覺得可能是因為本篇文章著重在介紹單一品種的jelly fish, D選項sea creatures（複數）不符合！

學測加油啊啊～～我以前好像也用過這本參考書
