<h3>What is the cuticle?</h3>

The cuticle is the most exterior layer of arthropods' tegument. It is secreted by the epidermis and develops right over it.

It is composed of two main layers,

epicuticle ⇒ outermost layer

procuticle ⇒ inner layer

The cuticle is mainly made of chitin, and its function is to protect the organism's body and avoid dehydration.

Because it avoids dehydration it is believed that arthropods had such an evolutive and adaptative successful in their transition from water to the land.

The cuticle also provides support to the body and a muscle attachment surface.

The correct option is C. Cuticle

A _<u>Cuticle</u>_ is a hard outside covering that is used for protection and prevents the inner body area from drying out.

Answer:

Normal Gene: AUC AUA GGA AAA UAC

Mutated Gene: AUC ACA GGA AAU UAC

Explanation:

The transcription takes place in the nucleus. This process involve copying of DNA sequence into mRNA (messenger RNA) sequence. mRNA too consists of 4 nucleotides except the fact that in mRNA the thymine (T) is replaced by uracil (U). This involves the following steps:

Unwinding of DNA
Binding of RNA polymerase to the unwinded DNA.
Synthesis of RNA commonly mRNA
RNA elongation
Stop codon (UAA, UAG, UGA) initiating termination of synthesis of RNA

In living things, cells must be in a _____________________ solution where water leaves and enters the cell at __________________

hjlf

Answer:

isotonic; the same rate

Explanation:

Cell Theory as as commonly known gives the best definition for cells. All organisms that ever existed are made up of one or more cells. The theory state that the cell is a basic unit, that is of all living things, and that all cells come from cells that have existed.

For cell that is in an isotonic solution,no net flow of water into or out of the cell will be experienced, the volume of the cell is at a state of stability. When the level or concentration of solute in and out of the cell is at the same pace or level, the the cell membrane does not allow solutes to cross, leading to the solution being isotonic to the cell.
