Upon sequencing the haplotypes of all 25 of the individuals in the Sumatran Rhinoceros population you find two genes in particular, the A and B loci, have the following allelic and haplotypic frequencies:

Allele frequencies: “A” allele frequency = 0.7

                                  “B” allele frequency = 0.5

Haplotypic frequencies: “AB” = 0.34

                                           “Ab” = 0.37

                                           “aB” = 0.17

                                           “ab” = 0.12

For the two gene loci considered, is the Sumatran Rhinoceros population in linkage equilibrium? Use all three means of assessment in substantiating your claim.
