The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:

a. The woman with stretch marks has a greater collagen-to-elastic fiber ratio.

b. The woman may have different gender babies.

c. The woman with less stretch marks has larger skin cells.

d. The woman without stretch marks has more cholesterol in her diet, which affects her cell membranes.

Answer:

The woman with stretch marks has a greater collagen-to-elastic fiber ratio.

Explanation:

The stretch marks on the hips, stomach and breast of pregnant women is a very common problem. These stretch marks appear pinkish in color which is very difficult to treat.

These stretch marks are the result of the collagen to elastin ratio which increases and stretches. This stretching happens due to the sudden or rapid increase in the weight of the body or the affected portion.

Thus, the selected option is correct.

The condition Marfan syndrome results from the production of abnormal elastin, the main protein component of elastic fibers. Pre
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

Elastic fibers are made of elastin and microfibrils, that are elastic protein structures. The proteins can be stretched and resume normal shape. These fibers are found in parts of the body such as arteries, skin, lungs, connective tissue and heart that require some stretching. Marfan syndrome affects the elastic connective tissues causing symptoms like dilation of the aorta that doesn't resume normal lumen diameter (aortic aneurysm), and curving of the spine (scoliosis).

The lungs are unable to stretch and resume shape normally and this affects the respiratory system. The subjects will suffer from shortness of breath, wheezing and chest pain.

The sheath/endoneurium of neurons is connective tissue. This part of a neuron allows signals to travel effeciently along the axon of the neuron. This means that a person with Mafran syndrome has a slower response to stimuli that ordinary persons.
