Inbreeding and back-crossing explained

Backcrossing is a crossing of a hybrid with one of its parents or an individual genetically similar to its parent, to achieve offspring with a genetic identity closer to that of the parent. It is used in horticulture, animal breeding, and production of gene knockout organisms. Backcrossed hybrids are sometimes described with acronym "BC"; for example, an F1 hybrid crossed with one of its parents (or a genetically similar individual) can be termed a BC1 hybrid, and a further cross of the BC1 hybrid to the same parent (or a genetically similar individual) produces a BC2 hybrid. #NikolaysGeneticsLessons #genetics #phenotype #genotype #narrowSenseHeritability #broadSenseHeritability #Breeding #Selection #traits #breedingValue #population #estimatedBreedingValues #Prepotency #pedigree #DNA #quantitativeTrait #populationGenetics #pureLine #SelectiveBreeding #artificialSelection #phenotypicTraits #breeds #Siamese #f1Savannah #f1Bengal #hybridCatSpecies #exoticPets https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQiszNp9wpc
