Question

genetic basis of inbreeding depression​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Conservation Genetics

Inbreeding depression occurs because species contain a load of rare harmful partially recessive alleles due to mutation-selection balance, and because some loci exhibit heterozygote advantage. Inbreeding increases homozygosity at these loci exposing harmful recessive alleles in homozygotes.
