Most species of jellyfish also exhibit bioluminescence to defend against and startle predators. What pattern of evolution is occurring between fireflies and jellyfish? What
types of structure (i.e., homologous, analogous, vestigial) does this pattern of evolution
create?

Most jellyfish bioluminescence is used for defense against predators. Jellyfish such as comb jellies produce bright flashes to startle a predator, others such as siphonophores can produce a chain of light or release thousands of glowing particles into the water as a mimic of small plankton to confuse the predator.

Answer:
In evolutionary biology, adaptive radiation is a process in which organisms diversify rapidly from an ancestral species into a multitude of new forms, particularly when a change in the environment makes new resources available, alters biotic interactions or opens new environmental niches.
