The reason the hypodermis acts as a shock absorber is that
a.) it is located just below the epidermis and protects the dermis from shock
b.) it has no delicate nerve endings and can therefore absorb more shock
c.) the major part of its makeup is adipose, which serves as an effective shock absorber d.) the cells that make up the hypodermis secrete a protective mucus

The major part of its makeup is adipose which serves as an effective shock absorber.

Explanation:

The hypodermis is a subcutaneous fat layer beneath the dermis. It is also known as adipose tissue. It binds the skin to the muscles and the other organs deep in the body. It stores fats and acts as an insulator layer against heat loss.

as in mitosis, dna replication occurs during interphase.   in meiosis, it occurs specifically in s phase of interphase 1.
