Answer:

The intertidal zone or area is defined as the area where the ocean and land meets between high and low tides.

Many of the organisms live in intertidal areas while fewer organisms live on high rocky shores because of the adaptation ability of the organisms.The probable reasons for this can be:

  • Intertidal zones have frequent changes in temperature, moisture, and salinity, some animals evolve them and migrate to rocky shores.
  • Some animals include adaptive features such as attaching more firmly to the rocks along with resistant shells, restricting activities and the ability to retain water helps them to survive in rocky shores.
  • Most of the animals are unable to withstand to the sun for most of the day as in rocky shores, so they prefer to live in intertidal zones.
  • Animals living in rocky shores depends on the floating water that carry food for them.

Example of animals living in intertidal zones are brittle stars,  barnacles, crabs and other.

Example of animals living in rocky shores are sponges, mussels and sea squirts et-cetra.

Hence, the animals evolve some adaptive feature that allow them to migrate to rocky shores.

1.) Explain how you identified the chromosomes in order to place them in the correct pairs.
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

A chromosome is a DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) molecule with part or all of the genetic material (genome) of an organism. Most eukaryotic chromosomes include packaging proteins which, aided by chaperone proteins, bind to and condense the DNA molecule to prevent it from becoming an unmanageable tangle. This three-dimensional genome structure plays a significant role in transcriptional regulation.Chromosomes are normally visible under a light microscope only when the cell is undergoing the metaphase of cell division (where all chromosomes are aligned in the center of the cell in their condensed form). Before this happens, every chromosome is copied once (S phase), and the copy is joined to the original by a centromere, resulting either in an X-shaped structure (pictured here) if the centromere is located in the middle of the chromosome or a two-arm structure if the centromere is located near one of the ends. The original chromosome and the copy are now called sister chromatids. During metaphase the X-shape structure is called a metaphase chromosome. In this highly condensed form chromosomes are easiest to distinguish and study.In animal cells, chromosomes reach their highest compaction level in anaphase during chromosome segregation.

Chromosomal recombination during meiosis and subsequent sexual reproduction play a significant role in genetic diversity. If these structures are manipulated incorrectly, through processes known as chromosomal instability and translocation, the cell may undergo mitotic catastrophe. Usually, this will make the cell initiate apoptosis leading to its own death, but sometimes mutations in the cell hamper this process and thus cause progression of cancer
