Ancestor:Descendants:

The ovasphere split from its ancestor and moved to Jujubee Polar Sea. The oval shape results in a simple genetic mutation. Due to this mutation it could better photosynthesize, so it could survive as a new species at Jujubee. It has developed a much better resistance to salt. Like its ancestor, it absorbs saltwater and extracts the water it needs to survive. The salt is stored in the outer layer of the hull. The spores are stored in the core of the ovasphere, where they already begin to bud. If there are too many new ovaspheres in the core, it will burst and release the new ones.
