Summary Introduction

To determine:

The two major layers of integuments and their components.

Introduction:

The largest body membrane that covers most of the body organs and cavities is called cutaneous membrane. The skin contains the cutaneous membrane. The skin of humans is also known as integument. The role of the integument is to protect the body from microbes and the external environment.

Explanation of Solution

The integument is composed of two layers. These are:

  • Epidermis:

    The uppermost layer of the integument is called epidermis. It is made from the squamous epithelial tissues.

  • Dermis:

    The inner layer of the integument is known as the dermis. It lies under the epidermis layer.

    The dermis is composed of connective tissues. There are two types of connective tissues present in the dermis layer. These are dense irregular and areolar connective tissues.

Which of the following statements about hydration is true? Absence of thirst is a reliable indication that an individual is adequately hydrated. All of these statements are true. Although a popular way to monitor hydration status, weighing yourself before and after intensive physical activity is not a reliable method to monitor hydration.

Three of the many recessive mutations in Drosophila melanogaster that affect body color, wing shape, or bristle morphology are black (b) body versus grey in wild type, dumpy (dp), obliquely truncated wings versus long wings in the male, and hooked (hk) bristles versus not hooked in the wild type.  From a cross of a dumpy female with a black and hooked male, all of the F1 were wild type for all three of the characters.  The testcross of an F1 female with a dumpy, black, hooked male gave the following results:   Trait Number of individuals Wild type 169 Black 19 Black, hooked 301 Dumpy, hooked 21 Hooked, dumpy, black 172 Dumpy, black 6 Dumpy 305 Hooked 8   Determine the order of the genes and the mapping distance between genes. Determine the coefficient of confidence for the portion of the chromosome involved in the cross. How much interference takes place in the cross?
