What is the difference between hybridization and inbreeding?

Hybridization involves crossing two genetically different individuals to create offspring with a mix of traits, promoting genetic diversity. Inbreeding involves mating closely related individuals, increasing the likelihood of inherited genetic disorders and decreasing genetic diversity.


What is the difference between cross breeding and inbreeding?

Cross breeding involves mating two unrelated individuals from different breeds or populations to produce offspring with a mix of traits. Inbreeding involves mating individuals that are closely related, such as siblings or parent-offspring, which can lead to an increase in genetic defects or expression of negative traits due to the lack of genetic variation.

What does the concept of 'crossbreed' do?

Crossbreeding refers to the practice of breeding purebred animals of two different varieties (e.g. a poodle and a Labrador.) The concept of crossbreeding is useful to breeders in several ways. It can be used, for example, to create new hybrid varieties that combine favorable characteristics from different purebred strains into new strain. It also allows breeders to strengthen purebred strains and avoid excessive inbreeding by introducing genetic diversity from other populations. In this case, crossbreeding is followed by selective breeding with the purebred population in order to maintain the positive impact of increased diversity while reducing noticeable divergences from breed characteristics that may occur in the initial crossbreed.

Inbreeding


How are selective breeding techniques of hybridization and inbreeding opposite?

In hybridization, individuals from different breeds or varieties are crossed to produce offspring with desired traits, promoting genetic diversity. In contrast, inbreeding involves mating closely related individuals to increase the frequency of desired traits, which can lead to a decrease in genetic diversity and an increased risk of inherited genetic disorders.
