Instructions: Complete the following problems. In order to receive full credit, work must be shown. Answers alone without supporting information to document the process for solving the problem will receive no credit. [NOTE: Problem lb includes many similar calculations, most of which involve simple arithmetic so it is not necessary to show all work. To I) (12 pts) Use the following branch pedigree to provide answers for a), b) and e) a) Convert the branch pedigree into an arrow pedigree format. b) Construct an additive relationship matrix that includes the relationships among animals, including any inbreeding coefficients, for all animals in the pedigree. Using the information from the matrix, indicate the following: c) i. List the identification letters for all animals in the pedigree who are inbred ii. Inbreeding coefficient for animal I (Fi) ii. Additive relationship for animal I with itself (a)

Answer 1

inbreeding coefficient= 2ⁿ* 2^-2n= 2^-n

n= no of generations= 3

2^-3 = 1/16

=0.016

relationship with a11

= 2^-11= 1/2048 = 0.0004882
