Chapter 21, Problem 7P
A large, random mating population is started with the following proportion of individuals for the indicated blood types:
0.5 MM
0.2 MN
0.3 NN
This blood type gene is autosomal, and the M and N alleles are codominant.
| a. | Is this population at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? |
| b. | What will be the allele and genotype frequencies after one generation under the conditions assumed for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? |
| c. | What will be the allele and genotype frequencies after two generations under the conditions assumed for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? |
