A geneticist is studying two genes. Each gene can be either dominant or recessive. A sample of 100 individuals is categorized as follows. Gene 2 Gene 1 Dominant Recessive Dominant 56 24 Recessive 14 6. What is the probability that a randomly sampled individual, gene 1 is dominant? a. b. What is the probability that a randomly sampled individual, gene 2 is dominant? Given that gene 1 is dominant, what is the probability that gene 2 is dominant? 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? C. d.
