How would inbreeding affect allele frequencies and genotype frequencies in a population?
Finger [1]
<h2>Inbreeding </h2>

Explanation:

Inbreeding is defined as the formation of offspring which results from the mating of two closely related organisms

Inbreeding affects allele frequencies and genotype frequencies in a population in following ways:

  • Inbreeding increases homozygosity which in turn decreases the biological fitness of a population because there are chances that offsprings will be affected by deleterious traits in this case
  • Inbreeding itself does not cause evolution, because allele frequencies do not change in the population as a whole
