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.

What is typically responsible for forming volcanic island chains in the oceans?
katrin [286]

Hello! :)

C. Composite volcanoes.

Why?

Composite volcanoes are some of the most dangerous volcanoes on the planet. They tend to occur along oceanic-to-oceanic or oceanic-to-continental boundaries because of subduction zones. They tend to be made of felsic to intermediate rock and the viscosity of the lava means that eruptions tend to be explosive.

Hope this helped and I hope I answered in time!

Good luck!
