A laboratory population ofDrosophila melanogaster, under Hardy-Weinberg equilibriumconditions initially, consists of 64% recessive phenotypes (likevestigial wings), and 36% dominant phenotypes (for normal wings).If assortative mating takes place (inbreeding), altering thispopulation to 72% recessive phenotypes (vestigial wings) and 28%dominant phenotypes (normal wings), in one generation,
A. then the inbreeding coefficient(F) = 1.00
B. then the inbreeding coefficient (F) = 0.50
C. then the inbreeding coefficient (F) = 0.25
D. then the inbreeding coefficient (F) = 0.125
E. then the inbreeding coefficient (F) = 0.0625
