What is inbreeding and interspecific hybridisation in animals? Give an example of each.

Answer»

The crossing between two individuals of a species that are related by descent for 4–6 generations is called inbreeding, e.g., a cross between superior cow and superior bull.

The cross between two individuals of different species of the same genus is called interspecific hybridisation, e.g., a mule is suitable example that is obtained by crossing between a male donkey and a female horse.
