    So after the third generation of selfing, 0.0625 population will be hetero zygous.

    Explanation:

    Selfing or in another term self-breeding lead to the loss of heterozygosity which ultimately decreased the genetic variation of any population. Selfing in each successive generation cause the loss of 50% heterozygosity from parental one

    if a randomly mating population start selfing with 50% heterozygosity then after three generations following result will be obtained

    F1-0.25%

    F2-0.125%

    F3-0.0625%
