Marriages or any form of sexual relations between blood relatives is incest and is completely prohibited in the United States and most other countries of the world.
There are two reasons for this:
1. Religious: Most major world religions prohibit marriages between blood relatives. In countries where church and other religious institutions had a strong following, incest remains a crime.
2. Biological: Medical Science has proven that off-springs of close relatives e.g. brother-sister, first cousins and even second cousins have a high chance of genetic mutation which can lead to various health issues. This is the main reason why modern societies prohibit incest

These are performed by organelles.
<span>Cell is the most basic unit of matter that can carry out all the processes of life however not all cells are alike.The different structures found within the cell is called the organelles and are assigned to perform specific function in the specific cell. It is also said that organelles maintain the life of the cell. The organelles of a single cell like the organs of a multicellular organism is very essential for the survival of the body. The presence of organelles in both unicellular and multi-cellular organisms are very essential in orde to maintain life and carry on with its individual functions.</span>
*Given
Percent of the wolves which are female - 55%
Percent of the wolves which hunt
in medium-sized packs - 20%
Percent of the wolves which are both
female and hunt in medium-sized
packs - 15%
*Solution
<u>Assuming that there is a total of one hundred wolves in the species, </u>
1. Since percent (%) means "per 100" or "for every 100" then,
a. The number of female wolves is
(55 female wolves / 100 wolves) * 100 wolves total = 55 female wolves
b. The number of wolves that hunt in medium-sized packs is
(20 wolves / 100 wolves) * 100 wolves total = 20 wolves
Note that the 20 wolves is a mixture of male and female wolves.
c. The number of female wolves that hunt in medium-sized packs is
(15 female wolves / 100 wolves) * 100 wolves total = 15 female wolves
2. Because there is a total of 55 female wolves in the species, and 15 of these wolves hunt in medium-sized packs, then the number of female wolves that do not hunt in medium-sized packs is,
55 female wolves total - 15 female wolves hunting = 40 female wolves not
in medium-sized packs hunting in medium
sized packs
3. To find the proportion, we can express the answer in terms of percent (%) or in fraction, which is usually how proportions are expressed.
For every 100 wolves, there are 40 female wolves that do not hunt in medium-sized packs. This can be expressed as a proportion of
<span> <u> 40 </u>
</span> 100
and simplified by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 10, we get,
<span><u> 40/10 </u>
</span> 100/10
<span><u> 4 </u>
</span> 10
When this is expressed in percent, we multiply the fraction or proportion by 100% to get,
<span><u> 4 </u> x 100% = 40%
</span> 10
Thus, the proportion of female wolves that do not hunt in medium sized packs is 4/10 or 0.4. When expressed as percent, this is 40%.
