Video transcript

Hello everyone and welcome to today's video. So we have that meeting between relatives is called blank, which increases blank. So meeting between relatives is made in in the family. So this in is going to be standing for inbreeding. So we're going to cancel out answer choices A. And B. Because our breeding is not made in between relatives is going to be inbreeding. Then we have which increases blank. Remember that since we're mating between relatives, they're going to have similar gina types because they are related. Now these similar genotype increase the probability of similar A. Leo's to be passed down to the offspring because of these these offspring are very likely to be homo sagas and looking at our answer choices, answer choice C. Homo Sicko City is going to be the thing that is increasing here. So answer choice C. Is the final answer to our question. And I really hope this video helped.
