Alexus [3.1K]1 year ago

Epithelial cells best suited for resisting abrasion and preventing pathogen entry into deeper tissues are stratified squamous epithelial cells.

Stratified cells are layered cells, squamous cells are flat and epithelial cells are covering cells. Therefore, stratified squamous epithelial cells are flattened, layered covering cells arranged on a basement membrane.

Stratified squamous epithelial cells have very little to no intercellular spaces which prevent pathogen from passing through and entering into the deeper tissues. They are well suited for resisting abrasion because the uppermost layers are subsequently sloughed off and replaced before the basement membrane is exposed. These types of cells form the outermost layer of the skin.

Explanation:

Evolution can be described as the process in which different organism evolve from common ancestors over a long period of time. Evolutionary studies show that some organisms have more shared characteristics as compared with other organisms. These organisms with common characteristics are believed to be closer to one another and evolved from the same ancestors.

In the above question, as there is only one difference between the cytochrome c of humans and rhesus, hence rhesus is the closest to humans. Pigeons has lesser number of differences than fruit fly, hence it is second on the list. Fruit fly has the maximum differences hence it is placed last.
