Re: the green gap
quote:
Plants don't absorb green colored light. There's a gap in the spectrum of light that plants can absorb. Why haven't they closed that gap and become capable of absorbing green light?
​
I imagine the mutation neccessary in the relevent gene to allow them to utilise green light either hasn't happened or it wasn't beneficial enogh to be selected for.
