Answer:

A) stratum basale.

Explanation:

The epidermal layer consists of five layers. This is not having any blood vessels and known as avascular. The four-layer starting from stratum basale to stratum corneum is referred to as thin skin. But the skins of foot and palm has another layer called stratum lucidum. This layer forms the five layers of the epidermis.

The stratum basale is the deep layer of the epidermis. Below this layer dermis is present. This layer consists of basal cells which are precursors of keratinocyte cells. The stratum basale is a single layer cell and it undergoes continual mitosis. So that this cell produces new cells and these new cells replace the other older cells above it.  

As the basal cells are precursors of keratinocytes, they produce all keratinocytes of the epidermis.  

Two other types of cells are produced from this layer - Merkel cell, and melanocyte. Merkel cells act as touch receptors and melanocytes produce melanin pigments.

What structure serves as a passageway for both air and food? A. pharynx B. trachea C. larynx D. bronchus
NARA [144]
<span>The answer is A. pharynx. The pharynx is a cavity behind the nose and mouth which serves as a passageway for both air and food. The passage for air begins at the nose and nasal cavity while the passage for food begins at the mouth and mouth cavity. These two passages cross at the pharynx but separate soon after. Air passes through the larynx and later into the trachea and bronchus on its way to the lungs. Food passes through the esophagus on its way to the stomach.</span>

Punet square please help
Assoli18 [71]
Ok, well the first thing you should do is create a key. Since the deep fried chimichangas are dominant to the baked ones, their alleles will be BB (homozygous, meaning the same) and Bb (heterozygous, meaning different). These two alleles, BB and Bb, are dominant. Now, since the baked chimichangas are recessive, their alleles will be bb (homozygous because they're the same, both two little b's). Since the question stated that a homozygous deep fried chimichanga crossed with a homozygous baked one, we're going to use the BB allele for the deep fried and the bb allele for the baked. After inserting them into your punnett square and doing some crossing over, your end result in all the boxes will be Bb. This means that 100% of the result will be heterozygous deep fried chimichangas. Hope this helped some! :)
