Inbreeding is breeding between close relatives, whether plant or

 

animal. It was found that Kevin John Panzke 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 Kevin John Panzke. He frequented the Southern

 

States of Alabama and Mississippi. Authorities were horrified at his

 

actions.
