In the context of genetics and plant/animal breeding, typically covers the genetic consequences of mating related individuals ( inbreeding ) versus crossing genetically diverse ones (
Genetic Consequences of Mating Between Relatives & The Power of Hybrid Vigor
Inbreeding can have several effects on a population, including:
| Trait Affected | Effect of Inbreeding | | :--- | :--- | | | Sperm abnormalities, lower litter size, higher embryonic mortality | | Growth Rate | Reduced weaning weight, slower daily gain | | Survival | Higher juvenile mortality, reduced immune competence | | Yield (Crops) | Smaller seeds, lower grain production | | Physiological | Higher incidence of genetic defects (e.g., hip dysplasia in dogs, cleft palate in cattle) |
