Best Answer

Close relatives share many similar genes including defects, mutations and recessive traits. Breeding within a closely related gene pool increases the chances that the same genetic characteristics are present in both parents. Children born from parents with the same genetic traits, even though those traits may not manifest in either parent, are more likely to manifest those traits since there is no alternative non-defective trait available.

Why are white tiger threatend?

White tigers are a genetic anomaly of the Bengal tiger, and have not been seen in the wild for years. The ones in captivity are all inbred, and many scientists are trying to halt the breeding of these animals, because they suffer from defects and health problems because of the inbreeding.


What is the need for action for the endangered white tiger?

Since the white tiger is only a very rare genetic color morph of the Bengal tiger, and has not been seen in the wild for years, most scientists agree that the ones in captivity be sterilized, and no more be bred, because the ones in captivity are inbred, and suffer from birth defects and health issues.

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.
