-Here is an example: $M$ and $N$ are alleles of a gene that specifies different blood antigens. The alleles are codominant, so a simple blood test can distinguish the three possible genotypes of $M/M$, $M/N$, and $N/N$. A survey of the population reveals that 83% of the population has only the $M$ antigen, 1% of the population only has the $N$ antigen, and 16% of the population has both the $M$ and $N$ antigens. In other words:
