How does inbreeding negatively impact a population?

Explanation

Inbreeding does not alter the allele frequency. In this way, it does not allow the individual to adapt to its environment by changing its genotype. Hence, it hinders the process of natural selection and evolution. Inbreeding reduces the number of heterozygotes. In this way, beneficial alleles are not selected and passed on to the next generation. Hence, favorable traits are not inherited for the better survival of the next generation. It increases the number of homozygotes. In this way, unfavorable alleles are allowed to pass on and express in the next generations, which reduces their survival chances and also restricts them from adapting to their local conditions.
