Textbook Question
Chapter 14, Problem 12Q
A very small number of people have a condition called vibratory urticaria. In this condition, physical vibrations (bumpy bus rides, jackhammers, running) can cause skin rashes. Scientists have found a genetic mutation in a single gene for a protein that stabilizes the surface of immune cells. You take it from here: What would a mutation in that protein possibly lead to?

Suppose that the population from question #1 (data is in table below) is experiencing inbreeding depression (F=.25) (and no longer experiencing natural selection). Calculate the new expected genotype frequencies (f) in this population
after one round of inbreeding. Please round to 3 decimal places.
