Consider MN blood groups in humans. Suppose there is a population of 800 individuals. The following data were collected from the population:
Phenotype | # of Individuals |
M | 170 |
MN | 410 |
N | 220 |
(A)What is the frequency of the two alleles, LMand LN, in the population?
(B)What is the expected frequency of each genotype in the population?
(C)Based on the data, is the gene for the MN blood group in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium in this population? Explain your answer. (hint: perform a chi-square test and interpret the results of the test)
