Close inbreeding is harmful because it increases the proportion of homozygotes and thereby boosts the probability that deleterious and lethal recessive alleles.

A recessive allele (a) that causes a genetic disease has a frequency (q) of 0.01. If the population mates randomly (F = 0), the frequency of individuals affected by the disease (aa) will be q = 0.01 = 0.0001.

However, if F = 0.25 expected frequency of the aa is .0026.

Mutation

Mutation has changed the allelic frequency.

it increases genetic variation within populations and between population.
