Solved: Let A and B represent two variants (alleles) of

Chapter 6, Problem 9E

(choose chapter or problem)

Let A and B represent two variants (alleles) of the DNA at a certain locus on the genome. Assume that 40% of all the alleles in a certain population are type A  and 30% are type B. The locus is said to be in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium if the proportion of organisms that are of type AB is(0.40)(0.30) = 0.12. In a sample of 300 organisms, 42 are of type AB. Can you conclude that this locus is not in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?
