The MN blood group in humans is under the control of a pair of co-dominant alleles, M (we will call the frequency of M, p) and N (we will call the frequency of N, q). In a group of 556 individuals, the following numbers of individuals are found for each of the genotypes:

167 MM
280 MN
109 NN

Required:
a. What is the frequency of each allele?
b. What is the value of the Chi-square statistic test to find if in this particular case the genotypic frequencies conform to the Hardy-Weinberg distribution.
c. What is the probability associated with you chi square statistic calculated above?
