Apical surface is the name of the epithelial cell surface that faces the outside of an organ.

The edge of the epithelium that faces light or the outside environment is called the apical surface.

The apical surface of the epithelial cells, where the lumen of the vesicles and tubules are located, and the inner surface of the body cavities, form the interface between the extracellular and underlying tissues.

It has multiple functions, including absorption and excretion, immune surveillance, sensory conduction, and barrier formation.

These functions are activated by several specializations, including glycocalyx (it cushions and hydrates the apical membrane), apical plasma membrane lipids(it restricts flow of water and solutes), channels and receptors (it regulates active and passive transport and sense the presence of growth factors), cytokines, and mechanical stimuli (eg, tensile and shear stress).

Fill in the Punnett square below to visualize the offspring of a cystic fibrosis carrier and a person who doesn't have cystic fi

valkas [14]

Answer:

50% of their children are likely to be carriers of cystic fibrosis

Explanation:

Since the normal allele "F" will be the dominant allele while the mutated CFR allele "f" will be the recessive allele, <u>the gene (pair of alleles) of the person that is a CFR carrier will be "Ff" while that of the normal person who isn't a carrier will be "FF"</u>. The attachment shows the crossing between the two parents. From the illustration in the attachment, for every 4 children given birth to, 2 of them will likely be normal, "FF", (not a carrier and doesn't have cystic fibrosis) while 2 others will likely be carriers of cystic fibrosis (Ff). Hence, 50% of their children are likely to be carriers of cystic fibrosis.
