8) In a population of chimps, a gene that controls the presence or absence of an extra digit on forelimbs is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. This gene has two alleles (D1 and D2), and 40% of the gametes in the chimp population carry the D1 allele. Given this information, what is the percentage of chimps that carry both the D1 and D2 alleles?a.16%b.48%c.60%d.40%e.36%
