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.

Based on Mendelian inheritance 4 offs-pings were produced,

XX  haemophiliac first  girl

XX carrier  girl

XY HAEMOPHILIAC first  boy

XY normal second boy

Since the father of the woman is  haemophiliac, then she is a carrier fro haemophilia  (although with normal vision) who inherited the allele of the the sex-linked X chromosomes from the father.
