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.

The term Dysplasia describes the enlargement of an organ or tissue because of an abnormal increase in the number of cells in the tissue.

Cervical dysplasia is a precancerous condition in which abnormal cell growth occurs on the surface lining of the cervix or endo-cervical canal, the opening between the uterus and the vagina.

Symptoms:

There are typically no symptoms of cervical dysplasia. Occasionally, abnormal bleeding may occur. However, in the absence of symptoms, the cell changes are invisible to the naked eye and are usually found during a regular Pap test.

What kind of map is a rectangular representation of earth but she was accurate directions but distorts the sizes and distances
Anna [14]

The correct answer is - Mercator projection map.

The Mercator projection map is a cylindrical type of map that represents the Earth in rectangular manner. While the map may seem as a nice representation of the Earth, and it has accurate directions, it also has some flaws. The biggest flaw of this map is the distortion of the sizes. The distortion is non existent on the Equator, but as it moves north and south of it towards the poles, the distortion is constantly increasing. This projection is not made to be able to cope with the increase of the scale, especially when it it is infinite at the poles.

Because of this, on this map, Greenland looks very similar in size with Africa, even though in reality it is around 15 times smaller.
