Phenotype is referred to as the expressed trait that is caused by a certain combination of alleles. We will recall that the HbS allele is responsioble for the anemia that results from sickle shaped red blood cells.

This phenotype is both harmfull and benefical in the sense that it leads to the agglutination of the red blood cells in individuals that have this phenotype and eventual crisis. Also, it is beneficaila in that nthose who possess this phenotype do not suffer from malaria in the tropics.

Clara is a vegan and she does not drink milk, a food advertised as a best source of calcium. But she is not worried too much sin

marysya [2.9K]

Explanation:

%DV label= 27%

1 cup of cooked collared greens= aprx 266.60 mg of Calcium

Assuming Clara is...

a teen, her required adequate intake (RAI)= 1300 mg/ day
an adult, her RAI= 1000 mg/day

For teenaged Clara

∵27 % DV= 270mg

% daily Calcium= $\frac{270}{1300} * 100=$ = 20.8 ≈ 21%

=0.21

<u>21% of her daily calcium needs is in a cup of cooked collard greens.</u>

Calcium is an essential mineral required by the human body, it is involved in cell signalling, muscular function and homeostasis. Along with fats, fiber, vitamin A and C and iron, calcium makes up part of a recommended daily intake target or DV- these are integral to a balanced diet.
