Octopus and squid have little suction cups on their tentacles. It helps with sticking onto food (so it doesn't get away) and also helps with sticking into things. If it wanted to camouflage into some rocks, it can use its tentacles to cling to to the rock.

Tentacles can also grab and carry things. Scientists have made tests where they would put a clam in a jar with the lid screwed on. The octopus would grab onto the jar and use its tentacles to twist the lid off.

Without tentacles, octopuses and squids would be pretty helpless and probably couldn't survive in the deep ocean.

Squid have 10 arms. Two of their arms are longer than the other eight and are called tentacles. ... The squids' two tentacles are specially adapted for feeding and they use them to grab their prey. They have a sharp beak on their mouths that they use to break open shells.

It is virtually impossible to locate the genetic factors involved in most psychological characteristics because of:_________
Lina20 [59]

It is virtually impossible to locate the genetic factors involved in most psychological characteristics because of <u>polygenic inheritance</u>.

Multiple genes, or polygenes, generate features in polygenic inheritance. Numerous diverse phenotypes, or displayed qualities, may be expressed through polygenic traits. When phenotypes were expressed, a variety of inherited qualities are mixed together due to polygenic inheritance, a kind of incomplete dominant inheritance.

The phenotypic, such as the color of one's hair or skin, is produced by polygenes working together. Polygenic traits don't inherit in the same ways as Mendelian traits do. Multifactorial traits will be many polygenic qualities that have been additionally influenced through the environment.
