Best Answer

Alleles are crossed from two different parents with the desirable trait. For example, if one female show horse produced a beautiful coat, and another male show horse also produced a beautiful coat, the breeder would breed the two horses to get the good-coat-producing gene in the offspring. The two alleles would produce the desired trait in the offspring.

What is a form of selective breeding crosses parents with the same or similar sets of alleles?

This form of breeding would be called inbreeding because you are taking to people with the same set of alleles (codes) and breeding them together so that they have kids that will have almost the same ones that they do. It would be the same if you did this in a family because your family members probably have similar alleles to you.
