How do you find percentage for edible yield?
No. Edible yield will vary for every product.
For meat it varies greatly between species.
Fish tend to have less mass of bones because their bodies are supported by water. It also depends on what you are willing to eat. People in Asia will eat parts of the heads and offal of many more animals than people in the West. However, a lot of these bits end up in products where we don't know exactly what body part it came from. For fish the fillet yield for a salmon is much higher than a tilapia for example. There is no hard and fast rule to how much the edible yield is for any animal but agricultural scientists are active in improving the yields constantly.

When the meat is cut across the grain, the meat fibers are made shorter, so the meat chews more easily and seems more tender.

The cheeses with mold include those with a white, dusty looking covering, and those veined with blue or green.
Cheeses covered with whitish dust have a mold called Penicillium camemberti on them. These cheeses include brie camambert and other similar cheeses.
Cheeses veined with blue or green usually have a mold called Penicillium roqueforti, and these include roquefort, ordinary blue cheese, Danish blue cheese, and some types of gorgonzola. Traditional gorgonzola is made with Penicillium glaucum.
Any cheese can get moldy, but this is not what is supposed to happen. Cheeses such as cheddar, colby, Swiss, gouda, and so on, should not have mold. These cheeses are often protected by a covering of wax, a rind, or a plastic package to prevent air from getting to the cheese. Any cheese that has access to even the tiniest amount of air can get moldy.

Why does food last longer if exposed to gamma radiation?
Gamma radiation doesn't change the food in any way; it merely removes bacteria so thoroughly that the food keeps fresh as long as it stays sealed. Normal "uncontaminated" food contains enough bacteria that they will eventually grow into a large population and rot the food.

What are all the reasons that eggs are used in baking?
I'm going to answer this assuming you mean regular chicken eggs. The four types of eggs used in baking are whole eggs, egg yolks, egg whites, and meringue. Meringue is simply egg whites which have been beaten until they are light and fluffy, and hold a stiff peak. This is commonly done with many cake recipes to increase the volume and lightness of the cake.
