Mitosis produces identical cells
Meiosis produces cells that are different from the original cell
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.
Answer: I believe you need to examine the layers, the color, texture.
A population is essentially just a collection of all living things in one category. People are one population, insects are another, etc. Communities are "more organized" populations. Soccer players hang out with soccer players, spiders hang out with spiders. We split into "our people" within our population.
I know that may be a little confusing, but if you have anymore questions feel free to ask. I hope I was able to help. Best of luck!
