In an isolated population of 50 desert bighorn sheep homozygosity for a recessive allele c causes curled coats The wild type dominant allele C produces straight coats A biologist studying these sheep counts 4 with curled coats She also takes blood samples from all of the sheep in the population for DNA analysis which reveals that 17 of the sheep are heterozygous carriers of the callele What is the coefficient of inbreeding F for this population Begin by calculating values for p frequency of C and q frequency of c without assuming random mating O 0 08 O 0 91 O 0 09 O 0 25
