Why is the fossil named Ida so important to comparative anatomists?

Biology
1 answer:
kykrilka [37]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Fossils are usually named based on the following conditions-

  • the location in which they are found
  • named after the scientist who discovers it
  • the rock formation in which they are found
  • They are given two names, the genus and the species

These fossils are again categorized into different groups depending on the similarity in terms of form.

These names of the fossils are important to the comparative anatomists because it helps them in doing the comparative study and understand the causes of similarities and dissimilarities in terms of anatomy and also helps in understanding the evolutionary process of these organisms. For example, the fossil named 'Ida' is the primitive fossil that was found to be almost completely preserved. This fossil helped in comparative studies with other fossil species in a number of ways.

What are chromatids and how do they differ from chromosomes
Molodets [167]
Chromatids are only called as chromatids when they are sister chromatids, meaning that when chromosome have two double stranded DNA attached together, each of the double stranded DNA is a sister chromatid, and while the whole thing (the two sister chromatids that are attached together) is called a chromosome.

So after the DNA has been replicated, the chromosome consist of 2 sister chromatids, attached to each other at their centromere.

Overall, sister chromatid is one of the two double stranded DNA in a replicated chromosome, and chromosome is the whole "X" shape that we see. For example, in humans, after the S phase of interphase in the cell cycle, we have 46 chromosomes, with 92 chromatids, since each chromosome is an "X" shape, by having two sister chromatids.

Hope this helps!
