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.
The answer is Sex-Linked Traits
It happens through 3 stages
- Interphase
- Meiosis 1
- Meiosis 2
In Meiosis one the cell produces diploid daughter cells by combining homogeneous and heterogeneous chromosomes.
In Meiosis two these diploids again tear apart to produce haploid daughter cells
