Chapter 30, Problem 29A

Summary Introduction

To determine:

The relationship between the doubling of the birth weight and protein content in milk.

Introduction:

The mammals are the organism that carry the babies in their wombs and give birth to the young ones. In initial days, the young ones are fed by the milk produced in the mammary glands of these organism.

Explanation of Solution

The relationship between the number of days taken to double the birth weight of the offspring to the protein content of the milk is indirectly proportional to each other. The organism that have more protein content in the milk take less time to double the birth weight.

The relationship between the days to double the weight and the protein content is shown below:
