The epithelial cells resist stretching and twisting in the
skin because if desmosomes that holds them together. The desmosomes are the one
responsible for the cell to cell adhesions, making them be tight or held
together as this is its structure.
Answer:
C. The factor in an experiment that is deliberately kept the same.
Explanation:
independent variables are variables that aren't changing they stay the same.
Cocoa is the dried and fully fermented fatty seed of the cacao tree from which chocolate is made. "Cocoa" can often also refer to the drink commonly known as hot chocolate; cocoa powder, the dry powder made by grinding cocoa seeds and removing the cocoa butter from the dark, bitter cocoa solids; or it may refer to the combination of both cocoa powder and cocoa butter together

Climate
Cocoa can be grown up to 300 m above mean sea level. It requires a minimum of 90-100 mm rainfall per month with an annual rainfall of 1500-2000 mm. The plants need equitable climate with well distributed rainfall. If dry periods are prolonged, irrigation scheduling is necessary. The temperature range of 15°-39°C with optimum of 25°C is considered ideal.
Soil
Cocoa requires deep and well drained soils. Poorly drained soil affects growth of plants. Majority of area under Cocoa cultivation is on clay loam and sandy loam soil. It grows well in the pH range of 6.5 to 7.0.
Shade requirement
Cocoa was evolved as an under-storey crop in the Amazonian forests. Thus commercial cultivation of cocoa can be taken up in plantations where 50 per cent of light is ideally available. In India, coconut and arecanut gardens are suited best for cultivating Cocoa. Under arecanut 30-50% of sunlight penetrates through their canopy which can be intercepted by cocoa.

This can be solved either by using a Punnet Square or you can use the formula (n(n+1))/2, where n is the number of alleles. However, using either method will give you the number of possible genotypes regardless if it's homozygous or heterozygous. If we use the second formula, that will give you 10 possible genotypes. Since you only want to know the number of heterozygous genotypes, you should subtract the number of possible homozygous genotypes. In this case, there are four. That is (A1,A1), (A2,A2), (A3,A3), and (A4,A4). Knowing this, you'd be able to figure out that there are six heterozygous genotypes.
(A1,A2), (A2,A3), (A3,A4), (A1,A4), (A1,A3), (A2,A4)
