2. Keratinocytes
The make up the majority of the cells in the epidermis. They synthesize keratin which are proteins that make up your hair, skin, and nails. They can also be found in other organs inside your body.

What are possible benefits of studying Biology?

Science means to know. Biology is the study of living things.
You understand a lot more of the function of the body (EMT, healthcare, diseases, etc.)
animals (veterinary work,etc.) You will understand the intro into genetics, and the ways in which the sun and plants directly influences our entire world.
Biology is a form of science that is pretty broad, and at the same time a form of science you can use in every day life of understanding the basic things that happen around you (in culture, family, news, environment, behavioural, etc.)
Biology is also a great way to get your feet wet into basic science- a launching pad for chemistry, physics, etc. Hope this helped. :)

svp [43]

Answer:

Option (A), (B), (D) and (E).

Explanation:

Wings are present in class Aves that helps the birds to fly. Wings provides the means of locomotion and also allow the sexual selection in case of birds. The wings are the modified forelimb of birds.

The bats wings are ancestral whereas birds have derived wings. Birds and reptiles (turtle) mostly have ancestor with wings. On the basis of wings we cannot construct a phylogeny tree. Hence, wings are not the ideal characteristics for the construction of a phylogenetic tree.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A), (B), (D) and (E).
