The occupation of different niches on the open plains and woodlands of Africa by the zebras and the wildebeests is a result of niche partitioning. The zebras and the wildebeests in a common niche would compete for food, water, shelter, and space. This competition would affect the population growth of the two species by negatively affecting their reproductive capabilities. Thus, in the same habitat, the two species choose to occupy two different niches such that the competition between them is minimised. Hence they end up in separate niches.

Evolution :).
Descent with modification helps to explain anatomical similarities among certain species. The bones of the forelimbs of humans, cats, and bats (you can add in penguins, alligators, and more) are used in different ways but have similar structures.
The best explanation is that these animals have a common ancestor. With new generations, new species emerged by natural selection from different populations, and with this, the bones become better for different tasks.
The forelimbs and other such structures with anatomical similarities due to a common ancestor are called homologous structures.
The irght answer is 8.
Each parent will give half of its chromosomes to its offspring through the gametes (which are haploid cells, containing n chromosomes) which will then fuse (male and female gametes) to form a diploid 2n chromosome cell and will eventually give rise to a new individual.
So each parent will give 8 of these chromosomes to their offspring.
