Inbreeding does not change allele frequencies, as it simply increases the frequency of homozygous genotypes in the population. Therefore, the allele frequencies remain the same. However, the frequency of homozygous genotypes increases, while the frequency of heterozygous genotypes decreases. This means that genotype frequencies do change as a result of inbreeding.
