Can you test if population is in hardy-weinberg equilibrium


Problem:

Out of 4,737 individuals of European ancestry, 3002 said they could smell asparagus in their urine and 1735 said they could not.

Required:

Question 1: If the allele for the ability to smell S is dominant over the alleles for the inability, what are the expected allele frequencies of S and s assuming random mating?

Question 2: What are the expected genotype frequencies?

Question 3: Can you test if the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? Why or why not?
