Chapter 5, Problem 1CRQ
Summary Introduction

To identify: The layers of the epidermis in the given image.

Introduction: Skin is the chief organ of the integumentary system. It makes up for about 16 percent of the total body weight. It is also the place or region where the body communicates with the external environment. Skin, along with the integumentary system forms the first line of defense against the hostile environment.

Answer to Problem 1CRQ

Pictorial representation: Fig.1 represents stratum corneum

EBK VISUAL ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY, Chapter 5, Problem 1CRQ

Fig.1: Stratum corneum

Explanation of Solution

Epidermis is the outermost layer of the skin. It is made up of five layers namely stratum corneum, stratum lucidum, stratum granulosum, stratum spinosum, and stratum basale. Stratum corneum is the outermost layer of the epidermis. It is the exposed surface of both thick and thin skin and contains 15 to 30 layers of keratinized cells, which are protective in function. The dead cells present in this layer remain interconnected by desmosomes. This layer is water resistant but it is not waterproof. The dead cells are present exposed on the stratum corneum for about two weeks after which they are shed away.

Question #3: In the KeyGene paper, the authors state that it would be useful if pollen from an apomict would transmit apomixis-inducing genes to the female in the cross (assuming the pollen is viable). Assuming there was just one gene conferring gametophytic obligate apomixis, and that the two parents are inbreds, what would be the consequences of such a cross if: a) The apomixis was a dominant trait? Indicate the genotypes and phenotypes (apomict or non- apomict) of the parents, F1 and F2 generations. Remember to include the expected genotypic and phenotypic ratios (or percentages) in the F1 and F2 generations, and to position the female first (left side) in the parental cross. b) The apomixis was a recessive trait? Indicate the genotypes and phenotypes (apomict or non- apomict) of the parents, F1 and F2 generations. Remember to include the expected genotypic and phenotypic ratios (or percentages) in the F1 and F2 generations, and to position the female first (left side) in the…
Question #5: Assume that two genes are identified that confer gametophytic facultative apomixis in soybean. The genes show independent assortment. Recessive alleles at both loci are required for the facultative apomixis. Facultative apomixis is triggered when the temperature at pollination is above 20 degrees C. At temperatures below 20 degrees C, all reproduction is sexual, independent of genotype. A facultative apomict male, capable of producing viable pollen, was crossed with a sexually reproducing female. Assuming the parents are completely inbred, what are the predicted phenotypic ratios (apomict: non-apomict) for the F1, F2, and DH (F1-derived) generations at each of the following temperatures*: a) 15°C? b) 25°C? *for full credit, show crosses and genotypes where appropriate. Remember to position the female first (left side) in the cross. Type your answer here:
a. What percentage of a drug is eliminated after 4 half-lives? Please round to the nearest percent.  b. What will happen to elimination of the drug in the previous question if the system is saturated? explain and show any math involved
