Document Summary

When you impose inbreeding on a normally outbred population, you tend to see a decline in the viability and fertility of the offspring this is known as inbreeding depression" (id) Impressive, the quarter horse stallion foaled in 1969 of the top 15 halter horses in 1992, 13 were descendants of. Impressive was fourth on the list at age 23 in 1993, he was estimated to be in the pedigree of more than. Hyperkalemic periodic paralysis (hypp) sporadic attacks of muscle tremors (shaking or trembling), weakness and/or collapse. Moore in equus magazine (march 1993) suppose that homozygosity has only increased at a few loci it is not likely to be a result of inbreeding. Hardy-weinberg theorem the hwt is the null model of allele frequency change in population genetics. We will now violate assumptions of the hwt one at a time, and see what happens to gene/allele frequencies violations;
