Determine the genotype for an esterase locus

Reference no: EM1382089

A botanist takes a sample of 300 plants from a population and determines the genotype of each one for an esterase locus. The locus has two alleles segregating in the population (F and S). The botanist suspects that this particular species self- fertilizes to some extent. Do the results provide statistical support for this belief?

Genotype F/F F/S S/S

Frequency 0.66 0.28 0.06
