If A is dominant allele, and a is recessive allel, than:

p is frequency of A allele, q is a frequency of a allele, p2 is a frequency of homozygous dominant genotype, 2pq is frequency of heterozygous genotype and q2 is frequency of homozygous recessive genotype.  

If the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium; p+q=1

p=0.15 q=1-0.15=0.85

2pq=2*0.15*0.85=0.255~26%

Without a cuticle, a plant _____.
kolbaska11 [484]
The answer is A. The cuticle is a protective film that is non cellular covering the outer cell layer (epidermis) of green, aerial parts of plants. Cuticles protect plants against drying (desiccation), UV radiation, and various kinds of physical, chemical and (micro)biological agents. The cuticle also provides some support. Actually the cuticle which protects the underlying tissues has basically the same function as our own skin. In several groups of plants, cuticles are very resistant. Only few groups do not generally have highly resistant cuticles e.g. ferns and lycopods.
