bioluminescence!!

Yes i have heard of bioluminescence. I have somewhat of an idea of what is it. It has to do with lights and organisms. I do not know of any organisms that have this trait. Some functions that i think that they have is to have to ablity to glow and attract mates and such. I think it can also scare away predators. Some questions i have is how an organism gets this trait. Is the chemical a gene or a natural response? Does this trait help the organism live? Does the trait help the organism produce offspring?

My Drinking Water

The water source that i have is Masontown Muni Water Works. The testing of my water has some very high chemicals. One of the most highest chemical is called Total Trihalomethanes(TTHMs). This chemical was very high in my water source. It says this chemical is way over the legal limit for regular drinking water. The other chemical that is high in my water is called Total Haloacetic Acids(HAAs). The taste of my water does not taste very good. It is cloudy and i just do not like the taste of it. It does not taste clean. This does concern me in a lot of ways. I do not want to drink unclean and unsafe water. This concerns me in a lot of ways.
