A founder population of interesting creatures is established, and the average probability of identity by descent is calculated for each subsequent generation as follows:

Generation	F (Inbreeding Coefficient)
0	0
1	0.05
2	0.0975
3	0.142625
4	0.2283625

a) What are the effective population sizes N_e for each Generation 1 through 4, relative to Generation 0 (the founder population)? b) What is the effective population size of Generation 4 relative to Generation 3?

c) Is there any evidence for changes in population size after the founder event, and if so, at which generation did the size change in the number of breeding individuals occur?

d) Change the value of F in Generation 4 to 0.2283625, and redo questions (a) to (c).
