Calculate the average metabolic rate of a 65-kg person who sleeps 8.0h, sits at a desk 6.0h, engages in light activity 6.0h, watches TV 2.0h, plays tennis 1.5 h, and runs 0.50h daily, If the metabolic rate for sleeping is 70 J/s, for sitting is 115 J/s, for engage in light activity is 230 J/s, for watching TV is 115 J/s, for playing tennis is 460J/s and for running is 1150 J/s.
Answer:
171.8 W
Explanation:
The Average metabolic rate can be deduced by multiplying each entity performed at a some particular hour of time with their corresponding energy, all divided by 24 hours.
Average metabolic rate = 
= 171.8 W
Answer:
I.
Explanation:
The woman's father has haemophilia so his genotype must be XhY, so his daughter can only have the following genotype: XHXh. Her husband is not a haemophiliac so his genotype must be XHY. There is a 50% chance that the mother's gamete has the recessive allele for haemophilia. If she has a son that son will have a 50% chance of getting the Xh. This also applies to daughters, but they will get the normal allele XH from their father so the daughter will have a 0% chance of developing haemophilia.
