If total food calories exceed daily energy expenditure, excess calories accumulate as <u>fat in adipose tissue</u>
Explanation:
Calories is the measurement of energy released when the food is digested.
Proteins, carbohydrates and fats get digested to release energy.
Proteins and carbohydrates yield approximately equal amount of energy on getting digested. While fats yield maximum amount of energy.
If the amount calories produced by digestion of food exceeds the total amount of calories used up then the excess calories are stored as fats in the adipose tissue of the body.
This is the major reason why overeating and decreased physical activities results in obesity.

Answer:
The mutations that were found in the parents were mostly somatic mutations
Explanation:
It has been mentioned in the question that leukemia was mainly found in the persons who were directly exposed to the radiation and it was absent in their children so this fact suggests that the mutations that were found in the parents were mostly somatic mutations and thus they are not transferred to the children from their parents. As these mutations were induced due to exposure of radiation so it was induced mutation. And such induced mutations do not get inherited to the offspring.
