Question

You are performing a Hardy-Weinberg test for a particular set of genotypes.You calculate the following: degrees of freedom are 1,and the chi-square value is 9.3 from Table 31,the probability is < 0.005).What can you conclude about these genotypes?
A)It is very likely that these genotypes are in H-W equilibrium.
B)It is very unlikely that these genotypes are in H-W equilibrium.
C)H-W equilibrium cannot be determined from these data.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A chi-square value of 9.3 with 1 degree of freedom and a probability of < 0.005 indicates that the observed genotypes significantly deviate from the expected values under Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Therefore, it is very unlikely that these genotypes are in H-W equilibrium.
