Using the hardy-weinburg equation; 2p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1

2p2+2pq = 91% = 0.91

q2 =   9% = 0.09

Therefore q = 0.3; and since p + q = 1; then p = 1 – 0.3 = 0.7

P = 0.7

Heterozygous indivisuals in the population (i.e 2pq) therefore is derived as following;

2pq = 2 * 0.7 * 0.3 = 0.42 = 42%

The answer is 42%

A researcher is interested in finding out if the amount of amylase, a digestive enzyme found in saliva responsible for digesting
kogti [31]
The answer is <span>Take consistent amounts of saliva samples from a number of people who have not eaten in 8 hours and measure the quantity of amylase in each sample.

First, the researcher needs to know the quantity of amylase in the <u>same</u> amount of saliva. Thus the amount must be consistent and not varying. 
Next, people must not eat in 8 hours, so they are all in the same condition at the moment of collecting saliva. If some eat immediately before the sample collecting while some eat 8 hours before, the content of their saliva will be different. 
For the correct results, all conditions must be the same.</span>
