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 the composition of earths atmosphere
gogolik [260]

The earth's atmosphere consists mainly of nitrogen and oxygen with smaller proportions of other gases such as carbon dioxide. The amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is maintained through a balance between processes such as photosynthesis, respiration and combustion. However this balance is being affected by human activities which are polluting the atmosphere.

The proportion of these gases in the atmosphere is as follows: nitrogen is the most abundant at 78%, oxygen is next at 21%,  while others  include carbon dioxide at 0.037% and argon at 0.9 % .
