Answer:

<u>Functions of epithelial tissue:</u>

  • i. Epithelial tissue covers the body outside and lines the various cavities inside.
  • ii. Epithelial tissue lines the hollow organs, body cavities, blood vessels and ducts.
  • iii. Cells are rested on thin, doubled layered, non-cellular basement membrane.
  • iv. Epithelial tissue has nerve supply of its own.
  • v. Epithelial tissue is avascular (a = without, vascular = vessel), i.e. it lacks its own blood supply and hence, obtains nutrients which diffuse out of blood vessels.
  • vi. Epithelial tissue has the power of division and regeneration. The old injured dead cells are sloughed off regularly and are replaced by new ones.

In a situation where two normal parents produce a child with PKU. This means that both parents are heterozygous for the condition i.e Pp × Pp. Hence, the heterozygous male (Pp) will produce gametes in the following proportion: P (1/2) and p (1/2).

This means that the probability that a sperm from the father will contain the PKU allele (p) is 1/2 or 50%

alekssr [168]

Answer:

Pasteurized milk is dairy milk that is heated and cooled using a simple, heating process that makes milk safe to drink before it is packaged and shipped to grocery stores.
