• True

• False

The less closely related the parents, the more highly inbred the progeny is.

• True

• False

The greater the genetic relationship between two individuals, the more likely they are to be carriers of the same mutant gene.

• True

• False

Allele frequencies cannot always be measured directly because in many cases, only the phenotypes and not the genotypes can be observed.
