8 0

I have provided the options below:

a. 150

b. 225

c. 300

d. 450

e. 75

Answer:

150

Explanation:

Hardy-Weinberg law states, the allelic frequencies of a gene that is, q and p follow the relationship p^2+q^2+2pq = 1, if the population is in equilibrium.

Therefore p^2+q^2+2pq = 1, can be used to calculate the percentage of the allelic frequencies i.e. p^2 and q^2

Allelic frequency = 0.75.

Therefore, the percentage of the allele in the population would be given by

0.75^2 = 0.5625 = 56%.

And the total number of individuals with this allele in the population:

number of individuals = 56×300÷100

= 168 or

150 nearest figure.

When watering her plants, Stela adds enough water to the soil to completely wet it. How will this help in plant growth?
vodomira [7]
<span>The roots of plants are able to self-regulate the amount of water they take in. Therefore, by adding this amount of water, Stela is insuring that the plant will have as much water as it needs to grow. </span>

Olin [163]

Answer:

d a discrete combination of traits, for example Masaai cattle herding.

Explanation:

A cultural complex consists of different cultural traits that together create a 'culture'. Thus, a cultural complex can be defined as a group of cultural traits that are functionally interrelated. A cultural trait can in turn be defined as any acquired knowledge that is learned by social interaction and interpersonal relationships. Moreover, a cultural pattern occurs when cultural traits and cultural complexes associate each other in functional roles.
