Answer;

-Skin cells have the crystallin gene but do not express it.

-Skin cells do not need crystallin for their function.

Explanation;

Crystallin protein has a specific function in lens cells, and skin does not make lenses. It would be wasteful to make protein that is not needed, and the crystallin protein might even have a detrimental effect if it were expressed in skin cells. So even though skin cells have the gene to make crystallin, they do not express that gene.

Since the zone of inhibition of Antibiotic Y is greater than the Antibiotic X so Antibiotic is better or more powerful in killing this particular microorganism.
