Genetics: A geneticist is studying two genes. Each gene can be either dominant or recessive. A sample of 100 individuals is categorized as follows. Write your answer as a fraction or a decimal, rounded to four decimal places. (a) What is the probability that in a randomly sampled individual, gene 1 is dominant? (b) What is the probability that in a randomly sampled individual, gene 2 is dominant? (c) Given that gene 1 is dominant, what is the probability that gene 2 is dominant? (d) Two genes are said to be in linkage equilibrium if the event that gene 1 is dominant is independent of the event that gene 2 is dominant. Are these genes in linkage equilibrium?
