The correct answer is E)52

When there is Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium like in this case of a single locus with two alleles denoted A and a with frequencies f(A) = p and f(a) = q, the expected genotype frequencies under random mating are f(AA) = p² for the AA homozygotes, f(aa) = q² for the aa homozygotes, and f(Aa) = 2pq for the heterozygotes. Let's put that A is dominant and a is recessive allele. In Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium we have:

p²+2*p*q+q²= 1     p+q=1      p=1-q

f(a) =0.4=q            q²=0.4²=0.16=16%    

p= 1-0.4=0.6         p²=0.6²=0.36=36%

Percentage of a homozygous genotype in the population is 16%+36%=52%

What would happen to the Earth and the moon if gravity did not exist.
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

If the Earth suddenly had no gravity, the Earth’s atmosphere would float into space. Everything not attached to the Earth would fly off into space. Things like trees and most buildings would remain because they are rooted. Since the Earth, itself, is held together by gravity, it would most probably break apart into chunks and float off.
