The Simple cuboidal epithelium forms thyroid gland and secretes hormones is shown in the picture attached.

Its main functions are secretion and absorption. It has an abundance of organelles to facilitate active transport frequently found in glands, such as salivary glands, the thyroid gland, and the pancreas, where its function is secretion.

The epithelial cells tend to be cubical in form after they are inactive, however additional columnar after they are actively secreting hormones.
The epithelial cells accumulate iodine from the blood and use this component within the synthesis of thyroglobulin, an oversized compound protein that forms the mixture.

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

No, the child cannot inherit the disease.

Explanation:

The problem tells you that the man has a recessive allele for an inherited disease, but he has a normal phenotype. This means that the disease is recessive and in order for an individual to have the disease, they must have two recessive copies of the allele. The problem also tells you that the mother has a genotype that does not include this allele. With this information, you can do a punnet cross of BB (mother) x Bb (carrier father), and end up with the following possible genotypes: BB, Bb, BB, Bb. Therefore the child will not have the disease, but there is a 50% chance that the child will be a carrier for the disease.
