Answer:

If they are non-randomly associated in a population

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Haplotypes are a set of linked genes of one genome.
  • Linkage disequilibrium occurs when these haplotypes do not occur at the expected genotypic frequencies.
  • Genotypic frequencies in a population are the number of people with a specific genotype divided by the total number people.
