Tossup

Resistance to this phenomenon positively correlates with increases in ploidy, which can counteract the impact of pseudodominant genes becoming linked to positively selected trans genes. Linkage drag occurs when this phenomenon creates new alleles that are then crossed into wild-type organisms while mapping quantitative trait loci. Sewall Wright developed F-statistics to address concerns (10[1])over the prevalence of this phenomenon (10[3])in dairy cow populations. (10[1]-5[1])Selective pressure caused by this phenomenon can counterintuitively (10[1])increase overall fitness (10[1])due to (-5[1])genetic purging. (10[3])This phenomenon (10[1]-5[1])increases (-5[1])genetic load in a lowering (10[1])of fitness referred to as this (10[1])phenomenon’s depression. For 10 (10[1])points, (10[1])name this phenomenon in which genetically related organisms (10[4])mate (10[1])with each other. ■END■ (10[4]0[1])

ANSWER: inbreeding [or inbreeding depression; or inbreeding coefficient; or consanguineous mating; accept incest; accept full-sib mating; accept inbred; accept backcrossing; prompt on fertilization or reproduction or pollination or mating or breeding; reject “interbreeding” or “outbreeding” or “crossbreeding” or “outcrossing”]
