Does Ajay’s diet provide enough protein to meet his RDA of 0.8g/kg of body weight? (2.2lbs = 1kg)

Answer:

The correct answer is yes.

Explanation:

RDA or recommended dietary allowance refers to the minimum amount of a nutrient, that is, regarded as essential for the proper functioning of the body or to sustain good health. The RDA is formulated by the Nutrition Board of the National Research Council.  

In the given case, the weight of Ajay is 154 pounds. In terms of kilograms, 1 kg is equivalent to 2.2 pounds.  

Thus, 154 pounds will be equal to 154/2.2 = 70 Kg.  

Based on RDA, the requirement of protein for a healthy individual should be 0.8 g/kg of the body weight. Therefore, Ajay needs to consume 70*0.8 = 56 grams of protein. However, based on his diet he is consuming 78 grams of proteins in a day. Hence, it can be concluded that Ajay is consuming adequate protein to meet his RDA.

What distribution of phenotypes would be expected for a polygenic trait?
rewona [7]
 The number of phenotypes produced for a given trait depends on how many genes control the trait. Anyhow, The distribution of phenotypes for a typical polygenic trait can often be expressed as a bell-shaped curve.

Many traits are controlled by two or more genes and are, therefore, called polygenic traits<span>. Each gene of a polygenic trait often has two or more alleles. As a result, one polygenic trait can have many possible genotypes and phenotypes.</span>

Vsevolod [243]

Answer and explanation;

-Stem cells, Adult stem cells and skin cells , have a similarities and they may also differ in a number of ways.

-A stem cell has not gone through the process of differentiation, so they have the potential to become any type of cell.

-Adult skin cells have gone through differentiation and cannot become another type of cell. Same case applies to the skin cells, they have already undergone differentiation;

-Similarity; The cells that are taken from the same person would have the same DNA.

-Difference; The skin cells and the adult stem cells have already gone through differentiation, whereas embryonic stem cells have not. The different genes that the types of cells have are turned on and off causing the differences.
