In shorthorn cattle, coat color is under the control of two co-dominant alleles. Individuals can be red (C^RC^R), white (C^WC^W), or roan (C^RC^W; spotted with red and white patches).

Studies in two large herds gave the following data:

 

 

                                       Number of Cattle

         Red Roan White TOTAL

Herd A 112 56 32 200

     

Herd B  98 84    18  200

Which of the two herds, if any, conforms to a population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium with respect to coat color frequencies?
