Our skin cells divide rapidly in order to maintain a protective barrier against infection.The outer skin layer is called the epidermis and contains mostly dead cells that contain keratin.Keratin is a tough fibrous protein found in hair,skin and calluses and acts as a protective coating.The epidermis cells are constantly undergoing mitosis so the outer dead cells containing keratin are rapidly replaced as they fall off, which occurs after so many days.Then the newer living cells start producing keratin,lose their cellular contents,then die and the cycle goes on.The skin acts as a barrier to infection,therefore,it's constantly renewed and repaired.

Which of the following represents a type II survivorship curve?
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-C.

Explanation:

The survivorship curves are the representation of the proportion of individuals of the given species which are alive at different ages in the population of species.  The curves are represented in the form of a graph with the number of individuals plotted on the y-axis to the age of survivorship on the x-axis.

The survivorship curves are of three types: Type I, II and III out of which type three represents the population with equal probability of dying at all age groups. This is represented by a straight line on the graph.

Thus, Option-c is the correct answer.
