Chromosomes  are thread-like structures located inside the nucleus of animal and plant cells. Each chromosome is made up of protein and a single molecule of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA).

The unique structure of chromosomes  keeps DNA tightly wrapped around spool- like proteins, called histones. Without this kind of packaging, DNA molecules would be too long to fit inside the cells. 

 DNA molecules in a single human cell  if unwound from their histones  and placed end to end, they would measure 6 feet in length.

Chromosomes  play a  key part in ensuring that DNA is accurately copied and distributed to new daughter cells as the parent cell divides to form new cells.

Internal gestation followed by live birth is an evolutionary development most likely driven by which of the following?
enyata [817]

Answer:

D. The threat of predators to eat eggs

Explanation:

The internal gestation followed by live birth was an adaptation developed by the mammals on land, and by some fish in the water, like the sharks. The mammals have been the most marking ones in this adaptation though. They too were producing eggs initially, but because they were living in an environment where there were numerous animals that preyed upon them, as well as their eggs, they had to be innovative. They developed internal gestation, where the embryo was developing inside the body of the female, and then it was born alive. This was providing extra safety, as the embryo was always with the mother, instead of being left alone and not guarded, thus an easy meal for the predators. The two types of internal gestation that the mammals developed are the placental and marsupial types, with the placental turning out to be more successful over time.
