QUESTION

Crossing of two inbred lines of different breeds is called as?

OPTIONS

(A) Cross Breeding
(B) In cross breeding
(C) Inbreeding
(D) Line Breeding

ANSWER

(B) In cross breeding

EXPLANATION

The cross of two inbred lines belonging to different breeds is termed an in-cross or in-crossbreeding in the terminology used in animal breeding. Crossbreeding is the broader practice of mating animals from different breeds, whereas inbreeding and line breeding involve increased relatedness rather than crossing distinct inbred breed lines.
