>The question remains: do individuals of inbred populations differ from
individuals from heterogenous populations? If so, their individual genomes
would be distinct in some way from the individual genomes in heterogenous
populations. They would be characterized as lacking genomic diversity, and
have a high level of deleterious mutations as well.

Can't see how that would be the case with a haploid individual.  A haploid
individual with only a single deleterious mutatation is unlikely to
survive, much less one with a "high level" of deleterious mutations.

So again, hard for me to see using the term "inbred" for a drone.
