Detailed Solution

Inbreeding increases homozygosity.

Inbreeding refers to the mating of individuals who are closely related. When inbreeding occurs, it increases the probability of offspring inheriting two identical copies of a particular gene from their common ancestor, leading to increased homozygosity. Homozygosity is the condition where an individual carries two identical alleles for a particular trait. If both parents have the same allele at a specific gene locus, there is a higher chance that their offspring will inherit two copies of that allele, resulting in homozygosity.
