Does inbreeding result in offspring that are heterozygous for most traits?

Inbreeding results in offspring that are homozygous for most traits - the variability tends to be bred out of the population.


Genetic mixing of genes that result from crossing-over?

Recombination is the genetic mixing of genes that result from crossing over.


What is an example of Inbreeding?

There are two possible meanings, both relate to the same practice. Inbreeding (which results in inbred offspring, is where very closely related parents mate (this can be in the animal and plant worlds). Extremes of inbreeding can be: brother and sister, father and daughter, mother and son. More common forms of inbreeding occurs between cousins. Inbreeding in animals normally always results in genetic abnormalities, this may not be very apparent with first generation offspring, but if the practice continues can result in some serious (degenerative) disfigurements or diminished mental capacity. However: In plants (as well show animals and livestock) the practice of inbreeding is used extensively to reinforce positive or desirable genetic traits within a breeding line. For example, a cat breeder may breed her pure bred Persian cat with one of the offspring from a previous litter (from the same cat) in order to reinforce a particular genetic characteristic.


A small genetic change such as a single mutation may result in what?

genetic drift....


Meiosis and fertilization are important processes because they may most immediately result in?

genetic variation

What are the instinct against inbreeding?

Genetic diseases and mutations as a result of the pairing of bad alleles.


What are the risks of inbreeding tigers?

Inbreeding in any species weakens the genetic structure of the offspring and makes them weak and susceptible to infectious diseases. This can result in a comparatively weaker generation of species which may result in extinction too.


Would a breed of two related cockapoo have any problems?

The inbreeding of two related dogs of any breed could result in puppies that are not healthy, emphasizing any negative genetic traits.


Are inbred people strong?

Inbreeding need not result in defects in the offspring. However, there is a high risk of defects, because a dormant genetic defect could be inherited by both parents from their common parent, and is likely to be passed on. With no genetic diversity, there is probably no possibility of genetic self-correction, resulting in an inheritable defect.


Inbreeding over a short period of time may?

lead to increased genetic disorders and reduced fertility in a population. This is because inbreeding can result in an accumulation of harmful recessive alleles, which can be more prevalent when mating is restricted within a small group. Reduced genetic diversity also compromises the population's ability to adapt to changing environmental conditions, making them more vulnerable to extinction.


Can result in less fertility caused by increased inbreeding?

bottleneck


Aside from poor eye sight hereditary balding and lower iq scores not to be confused with memory what other effects are caused by population inbreeding?

While inbreeding can result in many unwanted results it is also a powerful method of concentrating positive characteristics. A natural form of inbreeding, genetic drift, occurred in many smaller isolated cultures which results in a rapid change in a population in a very few generations. While there are inherent danger in inbreeding the effects are not always deleterious.


Bottleneck can result in less fertility caused by increased?

Bottleneck can result in less fertility caused by increased inbreeding. Inbreeding can cause many birth defects since the gene pool is limited.


Does inbreeding result in offspring that are heterozygous for most traits?

Inbreeding results in offspring that are homozygous for most traits - the variability tends to be bred out of the population.


Why is inbreeding important?

The important thing about inbreeding is to not do it. It is extremely dangerous for the offspring, resulting in horrible defects, retardation, and death, and can often result in death for the mother.


Can a son get a mother hamster pregnant and at what age?

Oh, yes they can. It's rarely a good thing. Small animals like hamsters are already more prone to genetic abnormalities (high prevalence of tumors, etc) and inbreeding exacerbates those problems. Inbreeding can result in extra or missing fingers, toes, or limbs, behavioral problems, or still birth.


Can bulls mate with their daughter?

Absolutely, but 98% of the time it's not recommended because of fears of producing calves that have genetic defects that could result in the death of the calf due to such genetic abnormalities. Inbreeding should only be done with purebred cattle, not commercial mutts in order to clean up the bloodlines of the herd and purify the breed.
