Whenever diploid populations are in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium at a particular locus

C) this means that, at this locus, two alleles are present in equal proportions.

The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
