Answer:

15.21 %

Explanation:

If we recall the basic formula of Hardy-Weinberg's equilibrium ; we have the following below:

p + q = 1

p² + 2pq + q² = 1

where;

p = frequency of the dominant allele in the population

q = frequency of the recessive allele in the population

p² = percentage of homozygous dominant individuals

q² = percentage of homozygous recessive individuals

2pq = percentage of heterozygous individuals

Given that p= 0.68 and q = 0.39

the percentage of the homozygous recessive genotype (q² ) will be

(0.39)² = 0.1521

= 0.1521 × 100

= 15.21 %

∴ the percentage of the population that has a homozygous recessive genotype = 15.21 %

During the S phase in the cell cycle, the chromosomes are replicated so that there are two copies. These copies are necessary so that each daughter cell created during the M phase will have an identical copy of the DNA.

Therefore, the answer is A: The DNA must be replicated. 


The chromosomes joining, cell membrane expanding, and cytoplasm separating all happen during the M phase (mitosis).
