Upon sequencing the haplotypes of all 25 of the individuals in the Sumatran Rhinoceros population you find two genes in particular, the A and B loci, have the following allelic and haplotypic frequencies:
Allele frequencies: “A” allele frequency = 0.7
“B” allele frequency = 0.5
Haplotypic frequencies: “AB” = 0.34
“Ab” = 0.37
“aB” = 0.17
“ab” = 0.12
For the two gene loci considered, is the Sumatran Rhinoceros population in linkage equilibrium? Use all three means of assessment in substantiating your claim.
