The act of inbreeding is to procreate with a very close relative. This practice produces inferior organisms because there is not enough genetic variety, which can lead to genetic disorders and weaknesses.

What is inbreeding and how does it occur?
Consanguinity
What genotypes are produced by a program of inbreeding?
only recessive homozygous.
How are selective breeding techniques of hybridization and inbreeding opposite?
the difference is the point that hybridization is the combination of two different species or verities, and inbreeding is breeding between closely related people or species.
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.
Can white tigers give birth to orange tigers?
Yes. In fact, most white tigers give birth to orange tigers 7/8 of the time, and while you may think these orange tigers are normal, they're not. They still have the same birth deficiencies as the white tigers. Only 1 in 4 tiger cubs from a white tiger bred to an orange tiger carrying the white gene are born white, and 80% of those die from birth defects associated with the inbreeding necessary to cause a white coat. The ONLY way to produce a tiger or lion with a white coat is through inbreeding brother to sister or father to daughter; generation after generation after generation. The kind of severe inbreeding that is required to produce the mutation of a white coat also causes a number of other defects in these big cats. The white coat is a double recessive gene so most of the cubs born through this inbreeding have normal coloring but they too suffer the same defects and are referred to in the trade as "throw away tigers."

What is the basis of inbreeding depression?
Inbreeding depression is the reduced fitness of a population caused by inbreeding. Inbreeding reduces genetic diversity, meaning populations are less genetically adaptable - and greatly increases the chances of genetic diseases and disorders. Inbreeding is most commonly associated with reduced reproductive and viability traits.
How do whales avoid inbreeding?
