A pure line (pure breed) refers to a group of individuals that consistently breed to produce a certain characteristic - and have the same genetic makeup (for those characteristics).

For example, Guinea pigs with BB will produce offspring with black fur, these are purebred. However, Guinea pigs with Bb are not purebred (as they could have offspring with black or white fur).

Inbred individuals have parents that are closely related, such as brother/sister, or cousins.

What is the difference between a pure line and in an inbredline in plants?

A pure line in plants refers to a genetically uniform population that has been established through self-pollination over several generations, resulting in consistent traits. In contrast, an inbred line is created by mating closely related individuals, often leading to increased homozygosity. While both types are genetically uniform, pure lines emphasize stability in traits, whereas inbred lines can be used to enhance specific characteristics, though they may also carry the risk of inbreeding depression if not managed properly.
