A geneticist is studying two genes. Each gene can be either dominant or recessive. A sample of 100 individuals is categorized as follows.

a. What is the probability that a randomly sampled individual, gene 1 is dominant?
b. What is the probability that 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. These 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?
