Detailed explanation-1: -Inbreeding. If we want to establish a population of organisms with predictable characteristics we tend to “inbreed”. Inbreeding is when the animals bred are very close relatives, such as siblings. Continued inbreeding results in offspring that are very genetically alike.
Detailed explanation-2: -Inbreeding The technique of inbreeding involves crossing two individuals that have similar characteristics.
Detailed explanation-3: -As the name implies, selective breeding is a deliberate process of breeding selected animals or plants for specific genetic qualities. Inbreeding and hybridization involve the artificial selection and crossing of animal or plant species, both with different results.
Detailed explanation-4: -Inbreeding refers to mating of related individuals. It results in a decline in survival and reproduction (reproductive fitness), known as inbreeding depression, in most species of plants and animals. Outbreeding refers to matings between individuals from different populations, subspecies, or species.
