Question 55

Essay

You are studying cannibals in Borneo and want to determine if a specific village population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium with respect to the two co-dominant M and N blood type alleles (LM, LN) segregating at the single-gene locus. The following are sample data from this population of the cannibals: Phenotypes M  MN N Total # genotypes 2876651231075\begin{array}{lllc}&&&\underline{ Phenotypes }\\\text { M } & \text { MN } &N& \text { Total \# genotypes } \\287 & 665 & 123 & 1075\end{array} a. Calculate the genotypic frequencies.
b. Calculate frequencies for the LM and LN alleles.
c. Determine whether this population of Borneo cannibals is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.
