ease the percentage of total kilocalories in his diet coming from carbohydrate. If he is eating 2500 kilocalories per day during the training period, and if he wants 60% of his kilocalories per day to come from carbohydrate, how many grams of carbohydrate should he be eating per day?a) 1,500b) 375c) 167d) 300

Answer:

option (b) 375 grams

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Calories taken per day = 2500 kilocalories

Desired increase in calories = 60%

Amount of calories to be increased per day = 60% of 2500

= 0.60 × 2500

= 1500 kilocalories

Now,

1 gram of carbohydrates provides 4 Kilocalories

therefore,

For 1500 kilocalories, carbohydrates required will be

= 1500 kilocalories ÷ 4 kilocalories/gram

thus,

carbohydrates required = 375 grams

Sexual reproduction in eukaryotes increases genetic variation. In prokaryotes, transformation, transduction, and conjugation are
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

All living organisms pass on or transfer their genetic material to their offsprings. However, this transfer of genes occurs through the process of reproduction (sexual or asexual). Reproduction may (in case of sexual) or may not (in case of asexual) ensure genetic variation among species.

Eukaryotes that undergo sexual reproduction increase genetic variation among their species by undergoing Crossing-over (exchange of chromosomal segment between non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes) during meiosis or gamete formation. This process of transferring genetic material directly from parents to offsprings is called VERTICAL GENE TRANSFER, and only sexual-reproducing eukaryotes ensure genetic variation through this process.

On the other hand, prokaryotic organisms cannot undergo sexual reproduction, they undergo asexual reproduction instead and asexual reproduction does not guarantee genetic variation since identical daughter cells as the parents are produced from the process. However, to promote genetic variation among their species, they employ the processes of transformation, transduction and conjugation which are all forms of HORIZONTAL GENE TRANSFER because it involves transfer of genetic material from one cell (donor) to another (recipient) which do not have the parent-offspring relationship.

What is the cell cycle?<br><br> Lesson Question <br> Help please !!!
Leokris [45]
A cell cycle is a series of events that takes place in a cell as it grows and divides. A cell spends most of its time in what is called interphase, and during this time it grows, replicates its chromosomes, and prepares for cell division. The cell then leaves interphase, undergoes mitosis, and completes its division. The resulting cells, known as daughter cells, each enter their own interphase and begin a new round of the cell cycle.
