Q. One of the breeding techniques useful to eliminate harmful recessive genes by selection is

KCETKCET 2016Strategies for Enhancement in Food Production

Solution:

Inbreeding is the practice in which superior males and females of the same breed are identified and mated. The progeny obtained from such mating are evaluated and superior males and females arc further mated. Inbreeding increases homozygosity. It exposes harmful recessive genes that are eliminated by selection.
