Answer;

-Skin cells do not need crystallin for their function.

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

Explanation;

-The crystallin proteins are water-soluble structural proteins that occur in high concentration in the cytoplasm of eye lens fibre cells. It has also been identified in other places such as the heart, and in aggressive breast cancer tumors.

-The main function of crystallins at least in the lens of the eye is probably to increase the refractive index while not obstructing light. The skin cell does not make crystallin protein because the skin cells do not need crystallin for their function and also they have the crystallin gene but do not express it.

Which of the following correctly explains why scientists believe that great apes like chimpanzees and gorillas are more closely
noname [10]

Scientists believe that great apes such as chimpanzees and gorillas are more closely related to humans based on the evolutionary timeline because apes are larger than monkeys and have long legs and no tails. Apes are known to have larger brains than monkeys which makes them so closely related to us. This fact cancels out B and C for the answer. Also, apes (gorillas, orangutans, etc.) are much larger than monkeys (mandrill, lesula, etc.). This right away cancels out option D. What's left is option A which features body parts and comparisons that are comparatively accurate towards humans. Hope this helped :))

frez [133]
If a patient develops a myocardian infraction that disables the sinoartial node, the heart would still pump blood to the aorta and the pulmonary trunk regardless, because the atrioventricular node will still stimulate the ventricular systole.
