The number of plant species obtained from a population study of a garden is as follows: Guinea grass (15), Ipomoea spp (5), Sida spp (7) and Imperata spp (23)
What is the percentage of occurrence of Imperata spp?
Answer Details
The total number of plant species in the population study is:
15 (Guinea grass) + 5 (Ipomoea spp) + 7 (Sida spp) + 23 (Imperata spp) = 50
The percentage of occurrence of Imperata spp is:
(23 / 50) x 100% = 46%
Therefore, the correct answer is option (C) 46%.
