Question

Describe the changes in genotype frequencies, and allele frequencies at a single bi-allelic locus in a population that is inbreeding at a rate F.

Answer 1

Inbreeding at a rate of F reflects some changes in the allelic and genotype frequencies at a bi-allelic locus. They increase the relative proportion of homozygotes to heterozygotes.changes in genotype frequencies occurs with increasing homozygosity and decreasing heterozygosity. in this case, the allelic frequencies are not affected.
