<span><u>The answer is A. 72.25 percent.</u>
The Hardy-Weinberg principle can be used:</span>
<em>p² + 2pq + q² = 1</em> and <em>p + q = 1</em>
where <em>p</em> and <em>q</em> are the frequencies of
the alleles, and <em>p²</em>, <em>q²</em> and <em>2pq </em>are the
frequencies of the genotypes.
<span>The <em>r</em> allele (<em>q</em>) is found in 15% of the population:
q = 15% = 15/100
Thus, q = </span><span>0.15
To calculate the <em>R</em> allele frequency (<em>p</em>), the formula p + q = 1 is
used:
If p + q = 1, then p = 1 - q
p = 1 - 0.15
Thus, </span><span>p = 0.85
Knowing the frequency of the <em>R</em> allele (<em>p</em>), it is easy to determine the
frequency of the RR genotype (p²):
p² = 0.85² = 0.7225
Expressed in percentage, p² = 72.25%.</span>
<span>Functional traits can be shared between organisms with divergent SSU rRNA sequences because functional traits may evolve independently, be shared through horizontal gene transfer, or be lost in divergent lineages.
Functional traits are characteristics that define our behavior.

The answer to the given question (though the question isn't given), I can assume this is the same as a previous one as the answer is C.
Hope this helped!
Answer:
Euhaline ⇒ Polyhaline ⇒ Mesohaline ⇒ Oligohaline
Explanation:
Let's first define each of these levels:
- Polyhaline: a category of salinity that has medium-high levels of salt
- Mesohaline: a category of salinity that has medium levels of salt
- Oligohaline: a category of salinity that has low levels of salt
- Euthaline: a category of salinity that has high levels of salt
Now, we can order these in decreasing order of salinity:
Euhaline ⇒ Polyhaline ⇒ Mesohaline ⇒ Oligohaline
