yes it is.
there all inbread.
(ROB TEMPEST)
Inbreeding results in offspring that are homozygous for most traits - the variability tends to be bred out of the population.
Recombination is the genetic mixing of genes that result from crossing over.
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.
genetic drift....
genetic variation
Genetic diseases and mutations as a result of the pairing of bad alleles.
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.
Mother-son mating can result in inbreeding, leading to an increased risk of genetic disorders and health problems in offspring. Inbreeding reduces genetic diversity within the population, making it more susceptible to negative effects of genetic abnormalities. It is generally not recommended due to the potential harm it can cause to future generations.
The inbreeding of two related dogs of any breed could result in puppies that are not healthy, emphasizing any negative genetic traits.
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.
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.
bottleneck
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 inbreeding. Inbreeding can cause many birth defects since the gene pool is limited.
Inbreeding results in offspring that are homozygous for most traits - the variability tends to be bred out of the population.
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.
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.
