Answer:

The neutrophil forms multiple lamellipodia extensions

Explanation:

Neutrophils are white blood cells (granulocytes) which comprise the first line of defense in the innate immune system. The lamellipodium (in plural, lamellipodia) is a cytoskeletal actin extension found in mobile cells, whose main functions are cell motility and migration.  Rac1 is a member of the Rho GTPase protein family which is involved in actin-myosin cytoskeletal reorganization of neutrophil cells in response to microorganism infections. In this regard, it has been shown that Rac1 controls the initial uncapping of actin ends in order to regulate cytoskeleton dynamics, thus regulating lamellipodia formation. By using mice as models, researchers observed that Rac1 constitutive activation may lead to the formation of multiple lamellipodia in neutrophils.

sdas [7]

Answer:

A) stratum basale.

Explanation:

The epidermal layer consists of five layers. This is not having any blood vessels and known as avascular. The four-layer starting from stratum basale to stratum corneum is referred to as thin skin. But the skins of foot and palm has another layer called stratum lucidum. This layer forms the five layers of the epidermis.

The stratum basale is the deep layer of the epidermis. Below this layer dermis is present. This layer consists of basal cells which are precursors of keratinocyte cells. The stratum basale is a single layer cell and it undergoes continual mitosis. So that this cell produces new cells and these new cells replace the other older cells above it.  

As the basal cells are precursors of keratinocytes, they produce all keratinocytes of the epidermis.  

Two other types of cells are produced from this layer - Merkel cell, and melanocyte. Merkel cells act as touch receptors and melanocytes produce melanin pigments.
