Posted by: scaledverts at Tue Feb 24 18:12:42 2009 [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by scaledverts ] Both are inbreeding and both have similar chances of resulting in increased expression of mutations. On average brothers and sisters share ~50% of their genetic information with each other. This number is of course an average based on theory. At the same time each child is also 50% related to each parent (they did get half of their genetic information from each). The difference between sibling-sibling and parent-offspring breeding is that sibling breeding increases the possibility of expressing mutations (both deleterious and non) from both parents whereas parent-offspring breeding increases the possibility of expressing mutations from only the one parent. To further complicate the issue there are also linked genes, etc. [ Hide Replies ]
