Select the incorrect statement.

  1. A

  2. B
    Inbreeding is essential to evolve purelines in any animal.
  3. C
    Inbreeding selects harmful recessive genes that reduce fertility and productivity
  4. D
    Inbreeding helps in accumulation of superior genes and elimination of undesirable genes

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Inbreeding increases homozygosity and helps accumulate superior genes. However, it also exposes (rather than selects) harmful recessive genes. When these harmful genes accumulate, they lead to inbreeding depression, which reduces fertility and productivity.
