A parasite could determine the size of the population. Whether it grows or shrinks. It could also change genetics
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.

All the deserts are found at 30<span>°N because
</span><span>Hot air from the equator rises, then cools, moisture is lost, and the dry air comes down at 30 degrees north and south</span>
The offspring that will be produced in the cross would have tortoiseshell fur.
<h3>X-linked traits</h3>
In cats, the male is XY while the female is XX.
Assuming that black fur is caused by the allele B and the orange fur is caused by A
A black female will have the genotype 
An orange male will have the genotype 
Crossing the two: x
Offspring: 
, 
, , and
= tortoiseshell fur female
= tortoiseshell fur male
