Is there a picture with this question? It seems like there's background information which isn't being shown here.
Pedigrees are basically a map of alleles for family trees
______Person1 -- Person2_____
I I I I
__Person3_ Person 4 Person5 _Person6___
I I I I I
Person7 Person8 Person9 Person10 Person11
And under everyone's name you write their alleles.
Punnett squares give the probability of someone having genes based on their parents' genes.
Parent1 (Aa) or Parent1 (aa)
Parent2 (AA) AA Aa Parent2 (Aa) Aa aa
AA Aa aa aa
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.
Answer:
DIFFUSION
Explanation:
Water, carbon dioxide, and oxygen are among the few simple molecules that can cross the cell membrane by diffusion (or a type of diffusion known as osmosis ). Diffusion is one principle method of movement of substances within cells, as well as the method for essential small molecules to cross the cell membrane.
Most of the carbon that's stored in plants - and in anything that eats them - is released back into the atmosphere by respiration when the organisms die and are eaten by microbes.
The answer is B
