QUESTION
Inbreeding coefficient measures?
OPTIONS
(A) Heterozygocity
(B) Homozygocity
(C) Cross-breeding
(D) None of the above
ANSWER
(B) Homozygocity
EXPLANATION
The inbreeding coefficient measures the probability that the two alleles at a locus in an individual are identical by descent and therefore reflects the expected increase in homozygosity caused by common ancestry. It does not directly measure heterozygosity, crossbreeding, or the absence of genetic abnormalities.
