After reading the paragraph below, answer the questions that follow.
the skin is the body's largest organ. it's made up of many different types of cells. oils, produced by the sebaceous glands, prevent the skin from drying and splitting. the pigment melanin, produced by melanocytes in the epidermis, protects the skin from the harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation. sweat, released through ducts to the skin surface, to cool the body. the types of cells that produce these compounds have different numbers of specific organelles, depending on their function. melanocytes use many enzymes to produce melanin. based on their function, you would expect melanocytes in the skin to have a higher than usual number of after reading the paragraph below, answer the questions that follow.
a. ribosomes.
b. lysosomes.
c. microtubules.
d. chloroplasts.

A

Explanation:

Enzymes, that speed up biochemical reactions in the body, are chiefly made of proteins. Proteins, on the other hand, are manufactured by ribosomes. Therefore, for melanocytes to produce required melanin, they need enough ribosomes to process the many enzymes required to catalyze the production of the pigment.

tsd is temerature dependent sex determination.

tsd: it is a type of environmental sex determination in which the temperature experienced during embryonic/ larval development (ambient temperature for development) determine the sex of the offspring.

crocodile displays the tsd where the ambient temperature of the developing egg determines the individual's sex. for example in the american alligator's eggs, incubation at 33 ºc produces mostly males, while incubation at 30 ºc produces mostly females. so if the american alligator's egg will get the ambient temperature (33 degree celcius)during embryonic development from egg, the offspring will be male and same for the female sex determination.
