Answer:

Behavioural and anatomical adaptation

Explanation:

Adaptations refers to characteristics present in organism which help them survive in a given environment in which they are found. These adaptations are developed over time in order to help the organism to be best suited to its environment to obtain food and water as well as to avoid predators

Such adaptations may be physical adaptations such as anatomical or physiological, or behavioural adaptations.

In physical adaptation, organisms have structural and physiological features that help them to survive. For eaxmple, needle-like leaves of desert plants to prevent water loss, thick fur of animals in cold regions, echolocation in bats to help them detect prey.

In behavioural adaptations, organisms display certain behaviours to help them survive. For example, migration of birds as wel as other animals based on seasonal changes, hibernation of animals in cold regions during winter, desert animals being active at colder nights and inactive during the very hot day.

Therefore, desert owls being inactive during the day and active at night is a behavioural adaptation, while their having small bodies is structural or anatomical adaptation.

The major pathway of communication between the right and left hemispheres is the:.
Sergeu [11.5K]

The major pathway of communication between the right and left hemisphere is the corpus callosum.

  • The cerebrum is the recognizable gray covering of the human brain, appearing to comprise the majority of its mass.
  • The cerebral cortex is the wrinkly area; the remainder of the anatomy is hidden behind that layer.
  • The longitudinal fissure, which is a significant gap between the two sides of the cerebrum, exists.
  • It divides the brain into right and left cerebral hemispheres, which are two independent parts.
  • The main channel for communication between the two hemispheres of the cerebral cortex is provided by the white matter of the corpus callosum, which is located deep inside the cerebrum.
