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