What are the differences between inbreeding and out breeding?

Outcrossing of individual animals of the same species that are unrelated or very distantly related (beyond the 5th generation) often creates hybrid vigor...where the offspring are healthier and more robust than either parent. This is often done when a group of individuals are so closely related that fertility or health diminish due to the higher concentration of the same alleles in the entire group. It can also be used to add desired characteristics into a breeding program. The disavantage of a complete outcross is that recessive characteristics are often masked in the F1 generation. Inbreeding of animals of the same species is done in an attempt to fix desireable characteristics in a group. The breeder using this technique must be careful to cull offspring with undesirable characteristics as well as examine whether the parent animals should be used for continued breeding. It is generally agreed that inbreeding within the 1st through 3rd generation should be followed by an outcross and/or the beginning of a linebreeding program.


What characteristics do humans share with animals?

Why do animals compete against each other?

Animals compete because they need to ensure their genes are passed on to the next generation. The animals with the best genes/adaptions are more likely to survive and successfully mate therefore passing their genes on. The process of which the strongest (or just best suited to the environment) genes survive on to the next generation is called natural selection.
