A) digestion of nucleic acids

B) regulation of salt levels

C) storage of lipids

D) synthesis of proteins

b

Explanation:

16%

Explanation:

The frequency of homozygous recessive genotype in the given population= 36% or 0.36

So, the frequency of the recessive non-taster allele in the given population would be = square root of 0.36= 0.6

Since the population is in HWE, the frequency of the dominant allele for this locus in the population= 1- frequency of the recessive allele= 1-0.6= 0.4

Therefore, the frequency of the homozygous dominant genotype in the given population = 0.4 x 0.4 = 0.16 or 16%
