Answer:

a. nails are a scalelike modification of the stratum corneum layer of the epidermis  

b. nails form on the dorsal edges of the fingers and toes

c.  fingernails do protect the digits from damage

Explanation:

The stratum corneum consists of the top layer of the epidermis (i.e., skin). Nails represent a modification of the epidermis and they are composed of densely packed dead skin cells (keratinocytes), which are rich in a protective protein called alpha-keratin. The nail plate is the hard keratinized part of the nail. The nail bed is the skin underneath the nail plate. The nails grow from the proximal portion of the nail bed, which is known as the nail matrix. The main function of the nails is to protect the tips of fingers and toes from injury.

Answer:

Because Intercalary meristems are found in the the stem part of the sugarcane in whole length.

Explanation:

  • As we have studied about meristem regions, that these are the regions found at the nodal areas which are able of cell division and growth.  Intercalary meristem are present in the nodes of sugarcane stem which lead to the rapid increase in elongation of stem.
  • Intercalary meristem are located at the base of leaves and nodes that leads to the increase in length.
  • On the tip of sugarcane, apical or tip region meristem are found. When the tip region is removed, the presence of intercalary meristems play the role by facilitating the elongation of stems in sugarcane.

Please see attached image for better understanding.
