1. Inbreeding depression occurs when related parents have children with homozygosity . 2. The final case is unique in its non-homozygosity . 3. Homozygosity at either or both loci produces an individual that becomes a worker.4. From this viewpoint, the rise in homozygosity was due to the gamete samplings. 5. In this ant the level of queen homozygosity is negatively associated with colony age. 6. Levels of homozygosity can be viewed also according to whether homozygotes arose allozygously or autozygously. 7. Homozygosity must be confirmed in second generation specimens, which then become the final product.8. Breeders must avoid breeding from individuals that demonstrate either homozygosity or heterozygosity for disease causing alleles. 9. Conversely, as homozygosity rises, the within-lines variance would be expected to decrease. 10. Low crossover recombination during meiosis likely restrains the transition from heterozygosity to homozygosity over successive generations.
