For the Hardy-Weinberg equation to be true, the population in question must be very large. This ensures that coincidental occurrences do not drastically alter allelic frequencies.

The two equations pertaining to Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium are:

In this second equation, each term refers to the frequency of a given genotype. is the homozygous dominant frequency, is the heterozygous frequency, and is the homozygous recessive frequency.

From the question, we know that:

We now know the dominant allele frequency. Using the other Hardy-Weinberg equation, we can find the recessive allele frequency:

Returning to our genotype frequency terms, we can use this recessive allele frequency to find the homozygous recessive frequency:

Inbreeding increases the expression of recessive traits due to more heterozygous carriers mating with each other. As the same individuals mate, the chance of a homozygous recessive child increases. This is the same as estimating the likelihood of a single healthy child from two carrier parents (0.75) versus eight healthy children from two carrier parents (0.10).

Inbreeding decreases genetic diversity, rather than increasing it. The rate of spontaneous mutation is not impacted by this type of breeding. There is no reason to infer increased levels of aggression.
