Question
The Rh factor represents one of several human blood groups. The Rh locus consists
of two alleles, the Rh+ dominant allele and the Rh- negative allele. Rh factor
incompatibility is detrimental for blood transfusions and the fetus during pregnancy.
Rh positive individuals are homozygous dominant or heterozygous, and Rh negative
individuals are homozygous recessive. A population survey revealed the following
data:
Blood Type
Individuals
Rh +
4,680
1,320
6,000
Rh -
Total
What is the allele frequency of this population and is this population in Hardy-
Weinberg equilibrium?

What is the allele frequency of this population and is this population in Hardy-
Weinberg equilibrium?
D = 0.78 , d = 0.22; it is not equilibrium
D = 0.22 , d = 0.78; it is in equilibrium
D = 0.53 , d = 0.47; it is in equilibrium
D = 0.53 , d = 0.47; it is in not equilibrium
D = 0.78 , d= 0.22; it is in equilibrium
