Detailed explanation-1: –It helps in the accumulation of superior genes and the elimination of less desirable genes.-Inbreeding increases autozygosity of loci throughout the genome, some of which cause homozygosity of recessive alleles.-Fertility can be restored by mating with unrelated animals of the same breed. This is called outbreeding.
Detailed explanation-2: -Technically, inbreeding is defined as the mating of animals more closely related than the average relationship within the breed or population concerned. Matings between animals less closely related than this, then, would constitute outbreeding.
Detailed explanation-3: -When breeding is between animals of the same breed it is called inbreeding. Inbreeding refers to the mating of more closely related individuals within the same breed for 4−6 generations.
