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 patient can be subjected to intraoperative cholangiography wherein a stent in the bile duct will be placed and a radiopaque dye will be injected. X-rays will be taken. This is to locate the level of obstruction and to confirm if there is a common bile duct obstruction. In extracting stones, the surgeon can prefer doing an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography or ERCP and perform basket extraction of the common bile duct stone; or to surgically remove the sphincter of Oddi to allow easy passage of the stones.

Compare the excretory system and urinary system.
olya-2409 [2.1K]
Excretory system and urinary system are both working to remove waste in the human body. but technically, urinary system is part of the excretory system. The excretory system includes the kidney organ which is the main and the most important organ of the urinary system, another part of the excretory systems are the large intestine and the lungs. on the other hand, urinary system aside from kidney includes ureters, urinary bladder and the urethra. when the human body produces waste products, both the excretory and the urinary work together to remove these waste products from the human body.
