Answer 4

An inbred person or animal is one that has has parents that were too close of relatives. Sometimes people accuse peole of being inbred if they are acting stupid because it is often the case that inbred people/animals can have leanring and physical problems.

Answer 5

Inbreeding is when something mates back to a first line relative, that is, father to daugher, mother to son, mother to nephew, etc.
Inbreeding concentrates characteristics, and is used extensively in purebred dogs and cats. It has the double-edge of not only preserving desirable characteristics, but increasing the number of undesirable ones.
Here is an example of a lethal genetic mutation due to inbreeding in a purebred Manx cat: According to Robinson's Genetics for Cat Breeders and Veterinarians, both the Manx tailless gene and the Scottish Fold fold-eared gene are potential lethal genes in utero if extreme tailless to tailless are mated or if extreme fold-eared to fold-eared are mated. Problems are most likely to occur when two completely tailless Manx are bred together. For this reason, responsible breeders generally breed a 'stumpy' or fully-tailed Manx with a 'rumpy' or 'rumpy riser' to minimise the chances of serious defects. This breeding practice is responsible for the decreasing occurrence of spinal problems in recent years.
In humans, the Amish population is also inbred, to the habit of not marrying outside the community. Some Amish are afflicted by heritable genetic disorders, including dwarfism (Ellis-van Creveld syndrome), and are also distinguished by the highest incidence of twinning in a known human population, various metabolic disorders and unusual distribution of blood-types. Since almost all of the current Amish descend primarily from the same few hundred founders in the 18th century, some genetic disorders from a degree of in-breeding exist in more isolated districts. However, Amish do not represent a single closed community, but rather a collection of different demes or genetically closed communities. Some of these disorders are quite rare, or even unique, and serious enough that they increase the mortality rate among Amish children. The majority of the Amish accept these as "Gottes Wille" (God's will) and reject any use of genetic tests prior to marriage to prevent the appearance of these disorders and also refuse genetic tests to the fetus to discover if it has any genetic disorder.

Someone whose parents were too closely related - 1st cousins, brother and sisters, etc., especially if this type of union has been going on for generations. This person will have a weakened genetic system due to too high a concentration of similar genes.
