Modes of selection: directional, balancing and disruptive RR Rr rr
Modes of selection: directional, balancing and disruptive RR Rr rr

... Balancing selection prevents the loss of two or more alleles at a locus, by increasing the marginal fitness of each allele as it becomes rarer. There are two principal mechanisms: -- heterozygote advantage (with fixed genotypic fitnesses) -- negative frequency dependence (with varying genotypic fitn ...

... What can you say about the inheritance of this trait (dominant/recessive, sex-linked/autosomal)? Autosomal recessive. Recessive because there is an affected offspring without an affected parent. It is autosomal because an X-linked trait cannot be passed to a daughter unless the father is affected (r ...

Inbreeding

Inbreeding is the sexual reproduction of offspring from the mating or breeding of individuals or organisms that are closely related genetically. By analogy, the term is used in human reproduction, but more commonly refers to the genetic disorders and other consequences that may arise from incestuous sexual relationships and consanguinity.Inbreeding results in homozygosity, which can increase the chances of offspring being affected by recessive or deleterious traits. This generally leads to a decreased biological fitness of a population (called inbreeding depression), which is its ability to survive and reproduce. An individual who inherits such deleterious traits is referred to as inbred. The avoidance of such deleterious recessive alleles caused by inbreeding, via inbreeding avoidance mechanisms, is the main selective reason for outcrossing. Crossbreeding between populations also often has positive effects on fitness-related traits.Inbreeding is a technique used in selective breeding. In livestock breeding, breeders may use inbreeding when, for example, trying to establish a new and desirable trait in the stock, but will need to watch for undesirable characteristics in offspring, which can then be eliminated through further selective breeding or culling. Inbreeding is used to reveal deleterious recessive alleles, which can then be eliminated through assortative breeding or through culling. In plant breeding, inbred lines are used as stocks for the creation of hybrid lines to make use of the effects of heterosis. Inbreeding in plants also occurs naturally in the form of self-pollination.
