Answer:

The correct answer is B. <em>The cells in the outer skin surface appeared flat, whereas the cells in the cross section were not flat.</em>

Explanation:

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

  • <u><em>Stratum basale</em></u> is the <em>innermost germinative, single, basal layer of the epidermis </em>composed of basal cuboidal-shaped cells. These cells are the precursor of keratinocytes, this is why this layer is also called germinativum. In this basal layer, there are also Merkel cells as well as melanocytes.
  • <em><u>Stratum spinosum</u></em> refers to the keratinocytes which produce keratin.
  • <u><em>Stratum granulosum</em></u>, this is the layer where keratinization begins. Cells produce hard granules that change to keratin and lipids as they ascend.
  • <u><em>Stratum lucidum</em></u> is conformed of densely compressed cells, which begins to flatten and appear indistinguishable between each other.
  • <u><em>Stratum corneum</em></u> is the most external layer, composed of dead, flattened cells which are released regularly in a process known as desquamation.

Jose and Fran MUST follow specific safety procedures when heating water with a Bunsen burner. The safety procedures include
8_murik_8 [283]
The following are some common procedures that we should take action of when using a bunsen burner to ensure our safety:

1. Wear safety goggles. Tie up long hair and school ties if needed. This can lower the risk of catching on fire. Put a heatproof mat underneath the Bunsen burner, put a tripod and the beaker of water for heating on top of the burner.

2. Close the air hole. Before we start up the burner, the air hole must be closed or green flame (striking back) may occur 

3. light up a match or a lighter. Put it over the chimney. 

4. Turn on the gas tap, you should be able to see a yellow flame now. Remove the lighter or match and open the air hole. We should have a blue flame by now. 

5. the water should start to heat up. Never touch the hot beaker with bare hands.

6. When the water is heated up to the temperature they wanted to, it's time to close the air hole and turn off the gas tap. 

7. If they need to move the hot beaker, use heat protection gloves 

These should be the correct procedures that they should follow in order to heat the water safely. 

Hope it helps!

podryga [215]
<span>heterozygous / homozygous refers to whether both alleles for a gene are the same. The organism is homozygous if both alleles are the same - that is, either both are dominant or both are recessive. The organism is heterozygous if the alleles are different - that is, if one allele is dominant and the other allele is recessive..
 the answer to the questions is A. </span><span>One parent was heterozygous for eye color and the other was homozygous with red eyes.</span>
