Suppose that in 25% of marriages both people are from population A, in 65% both are from

Question:

Suppose that in 25% of marriages both people are from population A, in 65% both are from population B, and in 10% there is one partner from population A and one from population B. What is the probability of a birth defect in the next generation? 


A further study finds that after 10 generations (≈200 years) a lot of inbreeding has taken place in the population. Two subpopulations (populations A and B), consisting of 30% and 70% of the general population, respectively, have formed. Within population A, prevalence of the recessive gene is 40%, whereas in population B it is 10%.
