Answer: A. Stratum corneum

Explanation:

Stratum corneum is the outermost layer of the skin epidermis. It is composed of dead cells and protein keratin. This is the thickest layer of the skin. It is also called as the horney layer. It forms a barrier between the body and the surrounding environment. It provides protection to inner skin layers.

On the footpad the strateum corneum forms a thick layer of the foot which provides protection from injury.

Why do we want to turn genes off or on?
Dmitrij [34]

The process of turning off and on of genes is known as gene regulation.

Explanation:

When the gene is turned on, it instructs the cells to construct a particular protein. The proteins are the molecules that build your body with collagen, tendons, and bones or keratin in your hair.

The gene regulatory proteins allow the individual genes of an organism to be turned on or off . in different cell types there are different selections of gene regulatory proteins. The patterns of the gene expression gives each cell its unique characteristics.

Each cell produces or turns on only a fraction of its genes. the remaining genes are repressed or turned off. this process is known as gene regulation. The signals from the environment or from other cells activate proteins called transcription factors.

Why do cells divide instead of just grow larger
hjlf
There are two main reasons why cells divide rather than continuing to grow larger and larger. One of the main reason is that the larger cell become more demanding, therefore the large cell will increase load on the machinery of the cell such as DNA. The other reason is that if the cell grow too large it will be difficult for the cell to move for nutrients and discard the waste across the cell membrane. Also the surface area for each cell will also be reduced, which is required for active functionality of a cell.
