Assertion. Inbreeding increases homozygosity thus helps in developing a pureline in any organism. Reason. Continued inbreeding leads to heterosis.

Assertion :- Inbreeding is necessary if we want to evolve a pure line. Reason :- Inbreeding exposes harmful recessive gene that are eliminated by selection .

Read the following five statement (A to E) and select the option with all correct statements: (A) Animal husbandrt is the agricultural partice of breeding and raising livestock (B) Crosses between different breeds are called inbreeding. (C )Breedin g of animals is an important aspect of animal husbandrt. (D) Inbreeding exposes harmful recessive genes that are eliminated by selection.

Assertion : A single outcross often helps to overcome inbreeding depression. Reason : Out-crossing is best breeding method for increasing milk productivity.

Assertion :- Inbreeding depression can be over come by mating of selected animals of the bread with unrelated animals of the same breed. Reason :- This helps to restore fertility & yield by increase in heterozygosity.

In the following questions , a statement of assertion (A) is followed by a statement of reason (R). A: A single out cross helps to overcome below average growth rate in beef cattle. R: Inbreeding depression resulting in reduced fertility and productivity is overcome by outcrossing.
