The cuticle is the most exterior layer of arthropods' tegument, and its principal function is to protect the body and avoid dehydration. Option C is correct. Cuticle.
<h3>
What is the cuticle?</h3>
The cuticle is the most exterior layer of arthropods' tegument. It is secreted by the epidermis and develops right over it.
It is composed of two main layers,
- epicuticle ⇒ outermost layer
The cuticle is mainly made of chitin, and its function is to protect the organism's body and avoid dehydration.
Because it avoids dehydration it is believed that arthropods had such an evolutive and adaptative successful in their transition from water to the land.
The cuticle also provides support to the body and a muscle attachment surface.
The correct option is C. Cuticle
A _<u>Cuticle</u>_ is a hard outside covering that is used for protection and prevents the inner body area from drying out.

that a few different ways
Q1. The answer is 53 chromosomes
Zebra has 44 diploid chromosomes (2n = 44). Zebra's gametes are haploid, so they will have 22 chromosomes (n = 22).
Donkey has 62 diploid chromosomes (2n = 62). Zebra's gametes are haploid, so they will have 31 chromosomes (n = 31).
After fusion of zebra's gamete (n = 22) and donkey's gamete (n = 31), the zonkey's zygote will have 22 + 31 = 53 chromosomes
Q2 and Q3. In the meiosis, the number of chromosomes is reduced by half. Since zonkey has 53 chromosomes, after meiosis it should have 53/2 chromosomes, which is not the whole number. This is the reason why they cannot produce normal gametes that will result, after the fusion, in the production of normal diploid zygote
