How to Find Inbreeding Coefficient (practice problem)

Inbreeding (i.e., breeding between closely related individuals) results in more recessive traits manifesting themselves, as the genomes of pair-mates are more similar. Recessive traits can only occur in an offspring if present in both parents’ genomes. The more genetically similar the parents are, the more often recessive traits appear in their offspring. Consequently, the more closely related the breeding pair is, the more homozygous, deleterious genes the offspring may have, resulting in very unfit individuals. For alleles that confer an advantage in the heterozygous and/or homozygous-dominant state, the fitness of the homozygous-recessive state may even be zero (meaning sterile or unviable offspring). #genetics #inbreeding #pedigree #probability #CoefficientOfRelationship #GeneticsFieldOfStudy #inbreedingCoefficient #pedigrees #geneticDiversity #NikolaysGeneticsLessons #inbreedingDefects #whatHappensWhenYouInbreed #inbreedingInHumans #whatHappensWithInbreeding #inbreed #inbreedingDogs #outbreeding #whatBreedingDoes #inbreedingDefinition #bloodRelations #PedigreeChart #pathCoefficientMethod #BiologyMediaGenre #PedigreeAnalysis
