Answer: heres your answer
Explanation: having homologous chromosomes indicates that the organism is a DIPLOID SPECIES.
This law explains that the pair of alleles segregate from each other during meiosis cell division (gamete formation) so that only one allele will be present in each gamete. ... Every organism inherits two alleles for each trait. The two alleles of a pair are different, i.e., one is dominant and one is recessive.
Assumptions:
1. Equilibrium has been reached for the allele proportions
2. Absence of <span>evolutionary influences such as </span>mate choice<span>, </span>mutation<span>, </span>selection<span>, </span>genetic drift<span>, </span>gene flow<span> and </span>meiotic drive<span>.

Defining L=long stem, l=short stem, and L is dominant over l.
f(x) = frequency of allele x (expressed as a fraction of population)
Then the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium law applies:
p^2+2pq+q^2=1
where
f(LL)=p^2
f(Ll)=2pq
f(ll)=q^2
Given f(ll)=0.35=q^2, we have
q=sqrt(0.35)=0.591608
p=1-q=0.408392
=>
f(Ll)
=2pq
=2*0.408392*0.591608=0.483216
= proportion of heterozygous population
Answer: percentage of heterozygous population is 48.32%
To confirm the above hypothesis, Maria should perform an experiment to prove that xylem is responsible for the transport of coloured water through the plant. This is called the ascent of sap.
A suitable plant having a tender, semitransparent stem should be selected. The root system of the plant should be cut off and the twig has to be placed half-immersed in a coloured solution of water for about one hour. Later, when the plant is observed, parallely running streaks of coloured water can be seen through the semitransparent stem and other parts of the plant indicating that the xylem is involved in the upward movement of water.
