What is a form of selective breeding crosses parents with the same or similar sets of alleles?

This form of breeding would be called inbreeding because you are taking to people with the same set of alleles (codes) and breeding them together so that they have kids that will have almost the same ones that they do. It would be the same if you did this in a family because your family members probably have similar alleles to you.

How are inbreeding and hybridization the same?

Inbreeding is the breeding of closely related individuals of a species generally to produce more uniform offspring. Hybridization is the breeding of different varieties (breeds) or even different species to increase variation/ vigor in the genetic population. An example of variety hybridization would Labradoodles (labrador X poodle). An example of species hybridization would be (wolf X coyote). Many offspring produced from species hybridization are sterile... depending on the chromosome number compatibility and other factors.


Homologous chromosomes are similar in all of these characteristics EXCEPT?

Homologous chromosomes are similar in terms of size, shape, and genes, but they are not similar in terms of the specific alleles they carry. Each homologous chromosome may carry different alleles for the same gene, leading to genetic diversity.


Can you explain how individuals with the same alleles for a specific trait are similar or different from those with different alleles for the same trait?

Individuals with the same alleles for a specific trait will have similar physical characteristics related to that trait. On the other hand, individuals with different alleles for the same trait will have varying physical characteristics. This is because alleles determine the expression of traits, and different alleles can lead to different outcomes in terms of physical appearance or other characteristics.


When an organism has two identical alleles for a trait it is said to be what?

In genetics, two similar alleles for a trait is known as homozygous. Two alleles that differ from one another is known as heterozygous.


What does homozygus mean?

Homo means same so in a Punnett square, if one organism's gene is either BB or bb- the same- it is homozygus. When it is heterozygus, it would be Bb- or different 2 genes. Homozygus is an individual having two identical alleles of a particular gene or genes and so breeding true for the corresponding characteristic.

What is the definition of inbreeding?

Inbreeding is the mating of genetically related individuals, such as closely related family members. It can increase the likelihood of genetic disorders and decrease genetic diversity within a population.
