How many food calories can a human burn up in an hour by exercising at this rate? (remember that only 20.0 % of the food energy

used goes into mechanical energy.)?

Human can produce a maximum mechanical power of 1/3 hp (horse-power).

Horse power is a unit of power, it equals 746 watt (watt is also a power unit, known to be equal to a joule per second)


So:

1 ph = 746 watt = 746 J/s

1/3 ph = 248.6 J/s

we're looking for the calories, so

1 joule = 0.239006 calories


So human produce a maximum mechanical power of:

248.6 J/s = 82.88 calories per second.


We're looking for the number of calories consumed in three hours, so:

82.88 cal/s = 82.88 cal/s * 3600 s * 3 = 895200 calories = 895.2 kilocalories (food calories).


The number of food calories is 895.2 food calories

A gene that affects hair length in dogs has two alleles. The allele for short hair (L) is dominant
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

This question lacks options, the options are:

A. Only recessive alleles are inherited from homozygous parents.

B. Dominant alleles grow weaker as they are passed from parents to offspring.

C. Only the parent with a dominant allele can pass that allele to offspring in sexual reproduction.

D. A heterozygous parent has an equal chance of passing either the dominant allele or the recessive allele to offspring.

The answer is D

Explanation:

This question involves a single gene coding for hair length in dogs. The allele for short hair (S) is dominant over the allele for long hair (s). This means that allele 'S' will always mask the phenotypic expression of allele 's' in a heterozygous state.

According to the question, two heterozygous dogs (Ss) were crossed to produce 6 shortt-haired offsprings and 2 long-haired offsprings. An heterozygous organism is that which contains two different alleles for a particular gene i.e. a combination of dominant and recessive alleles.

Based on this, during meiosis or gamete formation, an heterozygous dog (Ss) will produce gametes with the short hair allele (S) and long hair allele (s) in equal proportion i.e. 50-50. When the two gametes containing the recessive alleles (s) produced by each heterozygous parent fuses, an offspring with a recessive phenotype (long hair, ss) is produced.

Hence, a long-hair

phenotype can appear in the offspring of two short-haired dogs because a heterozygous parent has equal chance of passing either the dominant or recessive allele to the offspring.
