Answer:

To ensure that no drying of the embryo occurred.

Explanation:

Because of the inhospitable environment, eggs from terrestrial animals that had a thinner shell were very susceptible to desiccation of the embryo. This made it difficult for the species to continue because it caused the embryo to die and did not allow a new being to be generated.

Over time, as a way of overcoming this disadvantage, some of the land animals had evolved to make thick-shelled eggs. The egg of these animals has a thick shell that prevented the drying of the embryo. However, the shell was porous, allowing gas exchange between the embryo and the external environment, thus ensuring the survival of the species.

OKEASE HELP WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST
Keith_Richards [23]

The correct answer is: A. the same traits

Homologous chromosomes come in pair: one inherited from the mother and one inherited from the father. They have the same genes in the same loci, meaning that those genes code for the same traits. But, variants of those genes-alleles can be different e.g. one recessive one dominant). During the meiosis (cell division of gametes) homologous chromosomes align correctly with each other before separation.

Thank You!
