In an isolated population of 90 desert bighorn sheep, a mutantrecessive allele c has been found to cause curled coats inboth males and females. The normal dominant allele Cproduces straight coats. A biologist studying these sheep counts 3with curled coats and takes blood samples for DNA marker analysis,which reveals that 13 of the straight-coated sheep are carriers ofthe c allele.
To calculate inbreeding coefficient from population data, usethe following equation:
F = (He - Ho)/He
He is the number of heterozygotes expected inthe population--determined by the calculation 2pq
