Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Inbreeding is defined as mating between individuals that are related by ancestry and is more likely in populations that are, or have been, small.
Detailed explanation-2: -There are two causes of inbreeding: inbreeding due to genetic drift and inbreeding due to non-random mating. Or in other words: inbreeding due to coincidence and inbreeding on purpose, inevitable and evitable inbreeding.
