Inbreeding [intsukht]

(From the English in - in, inside and breeding - breeding) the crossing of organisms that have common ancestors, close inbreeding, as well as pollination with one's own pollen. According to one view, it is believed that in inbreeding there is an accumulation in the genotype of genes that determine recessive traits — thus, by this theory, inbreeding is the opposite of heterosis.
