<h3>⇝ <u>Epidermis</u> :</h3>
Protective tissues includes epidermis & cork. Epidermis is basically a simple permanent tissue, protective in function. It forms one-cell-thick covering over all the parts of plant.
<h3>⇝ <u>Characteristics of Epidermis</u> : </h3>
- Epidermis is formed of living cells, arranged in a single layer.
- In aerial parts, epidermis is covered with a waterproof and noncellular waxy covering called cuticle.
- Cells form a continuous layer, but in leaves epidermis has small openings called stomata.
- Each stoma is guarded by a pair of bean-shaped guard cells which govern opening & closing of stomatal aperture.
<h3>⇝ <u>Functions of Epidermis</u> :</h3>
- Epidermis protects the underlying tissues from mechanical injury, chemicals & infection.
- Cuticle of epidermis protects against water loss & desiccation. It checks the rate of transpiration & evaporation and prevents wilting.
- Stomata in the epidermis of leaves help in gaseous exchange during respiration & photosynthesis.

Answer:
a. the environmental variance (VE) = 3.5 g ²
b. 17.5 g ² for population
c. the heritability of broad sense (H2) = 0.83
Explanation:
a.With the information we have we can infer that environmental factors influence A, which is considered isogenic, thus, the environmental variance (VE) = 3.5 g ²
b.When studying population B, comparing it without environmental changes with respect to population A, we found that its total variance (VT) = 21.0g ²
We generate the following formula with the data obtained previously to find the genetic variation
VT = VE + VG
then VG = VT-VE
replacing data:
VG = 21.0 - 3.5 = 17.5 g ² for population
c. Regarding the heritability of broad sense (H2) in population B, we can reach the result with the data previously obtained like this:
H2 = VG / VT = 17.5 / 21.0 = 0.83
Birth control pills contain mam-made forms of two hormones called Estrogen and Progestin. Both hormones prevent a woman's ovary from releasing an egg during her menstrual cycle. They do this by changing the levels of the natural hormones the body makes.
The thick loess deposits in South Dakota, Nebraska, and Iowa come from the glacial sediments from the last ice age glacial period.
For centuries, many scientists hypothesized that birds were reptiles due to similarities in their anatomy, but there was no hard fossil evidence to support it. But in 1860, archaeologists discovered a fossil of a highly detailed Archaropteryx lithographica (a bird-like dinosaur), which filled the void of the “transitional species” that scientists needed to link birds and reptiles. Since then, many fossils of feathered dinosaurs have been found.
