Common Genetic and Breeding Populations

Inbred Populations Inbreeding, also referred to as consanguinity or close-relative mating, involves the crossing of individuals with close genetic relationships to produce offspring. Depending on the degree of relatedness, inbreeding can be categorized into full siblings, half-siblings, and cousin inbreeding, with the most extreme form encompassing self-fertilization or backcrossing. Inbreeding results in increased homozygosity but…
