Abstract
Inbreeding is a result of mating of related individuals. These related individuals often form a more or less closed population such as a managed breeding population or a wild population that has become isolated from others with little or no migration. In this chapter, we will deal with basic concepts like coefficients of kinship, relationship and inbreeding, which will clarify why relationships are related to the identity of genes, before dealing with the genetic processes that breeding and isolated populations go through.
