Answer:

Melanocytes are located in the stratum basale.

Explanation:

Melanin is the pigment responsible for skin color. It is produced by melanocytes located in the base of the epidermis.

The epidermis is made up of five cell layers, which have different functions: Stratum basale, stratum spinosum, stratum granulosum, stratum lucidum, and stratum corneum.    

Stratum basale is the innermost germinative, single, basal layer of the epidermis composed of basal cuboidal-shaped cells. These cells are the <em>precursor of keratinocytes</em>, this is why this layer is also called germinativum. In this basal layer, there are also <em>Merkel cells</em> as well as melanocytes.

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

Negatively charged phosphate groups of two strands are aligned distantly from each other in a DNA double helix.

Explanation:

DNA double helix is formed when the complementary bases of two single DNA strands pair with each other. The formation of double-stranded structures places the negatively charged phosphate groups of two single DNA strands away from each other. This is because complementary base pairs are present between the sugar-phosphate backbones of two DNA strands of a double helix. The double-helical structure also concentrates the nitrogenous bases away from the surrounding watery medium. Altogether, these factors stabilize DNA dyad.

How does a slower thermohaline current contribute to more frequent severe storms?
Korolek [52]

Answer:

The correct answer is option C. "Increase in temperature â Increased rate of evaporation â More moisture in air".

Explanation:

Thermohaline circulation, also known as Global Ocean Conveyor, is the way that vast masses of water are moved in the ocean controlled by horizontal differences in temperature and salinity. This movement is usually slow, and serves as a way to transport heat, nutrients and other materials trough the ocean. When thermohaline circulation gets unusually slower, the heat is not efficiently transported. This results in an increase in the overall temperature, which increases the rate of evaporation, increasing the level of moisture in air and finally resulting in more frequent severe storms.
