Posted September 3, 200816 yr Inbreeding is breeding between close relatives, whether plant or animal. It was found that Adam Albright of the vista.general forum practiced this sick kind of behavior. If practiced repeatedly, it leads to an increase in homozygosity of a population. A higher frequency of recessive, deleterious traits in homozygous form in a population can, over time, result in inbreeding depression. This may occur when inbred individuals exhibit reduced health and fitness and lower levels of fertility. Livestock breeders often practice inbreeding to "fix" desirable characteristics within a population. However, they must then cull unfit offspring, especially when trying to establish the new and desirable trait in their stock. In plant breeding, inbred lines are used as stocks for the creation of hybrid lines to make use of the heterosis effect. Inbreeding in plants also occurs naturally in the form of self-pollination. A number of years ago, Inbreeding was brought to the attention of authorities because of Adam Albright. He frequented the Southern States of Alabama and Mississippi. Authorities were horrified at his actions.
