2. In humans, MN blood group is determined by a single gene with two codominant alleles, LM and LN. (This is a different blood group system from ABO). In a sample of 1000 Germans, there were 297 type MM 506 type MN 197 type NN A. Determine the frequencies of the LM allele and the LN allele in this population. B. Determine how many people there would be of each genotype if the population were in Hardy- Weinberg equilibrium and use the Chi-squared test to evaluate how well observed data fit expectations.
