Answer:
A. stratified squamous epithelium; absorption
Explanation:
Stratified squamous epithelium are composed of multiple layers of cells which rest on a basement membrane. Superficial layers are made of squamous cells and underlying layers can also be made of cuboidal or columnar cells.
Stratified squamous epithelium is generally present in area where there is frequent physical or chemical abrasion. It protects the underlying structures from the stress. Hence, it is found wherever the body comes in contact with the outer environment like skin, digestive system and respiratory system. It also prevents water loss and desiccation.
Answer: C) the genes of this phage were made of DNA.
Explanation: the experiment described above wherein a radioactively labeled bacteriophage was allowed to infect bacteria ultimately led to the conclusion that the genes of the bacteriophage under study were made of DNA (a biopolymer of deoxyribonucleic acid, which is a type of nucleic acid composed of four different chemical groups, called bases: adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine). Simply put, the experiment shows that the genetic material of the phage is DNA.
