The human serum proteins haptoglobin-1, Hp-1, haptoglobin-3, Hp-3 are specified by a single pair of autosomal codominant alleles, \( \mathrm{Hp}-1 \) and \( \mathrm{Hp}-3 \), respectively. The group of people living in Ottumwa, Iowa (population 1000) was tested for the presence of each heptaglobin in their blood. Of these, 10 showed only haptoglobin-1, 810 showed only haptoglobin-3, and 180 showed both haptoglobins in their serum. Answer the following questions; a. What are the frequencies of both alleles in this gene pool? b. Are the testing results consistent with those expected of a large population mating at random?
