MN blood group in humans is under the control of two co-dominant alleles M and N. Blood typing results of a population having of 1349 individuals showed that:
- 363 persons had MM genotype.
- 352 persons had NN genotype.
- 634 persons had MN genotype.
(A) You require to check if this population is in Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium. For this, you first have to formulate null hypothesis. Which of the following is the correct null hypothesis?
a. The population is not in Hardy Weinberg equilibrium.
b. The population does not deviate from Hardy Weinberg equilibrium.
c. The population does not show random mating.
d. The population does not illustrate any preponderance of heterozygotes.
