In the same population of patients you examined for sickle cell allele frequencies, you now want to test whether the disease symptoms are related to blood type. Since blood type is a codominant trait and the alleles are easily identifiable by the phenotype (blood type)of the individuals, which method is most helpful for identifying blood type allele frequency?
A)allele-counting method
B)genotype proportion method
C)square root method
D)binomial expansion
E)chi-square test
