Q

Alike in state

A

Genes that are alike in state function the same and have exactly or almost exactly the same chemical structure

20
Q

Wright’s Coefficient

A

A measure of pedigree relationship

21
Q

Base population

A

The population of animals whose parents are either unknown or ignored for the purposes of inbreeding or relationship calculation

22
Q

Linebreeding

A

The mating of individuals within a particular line, designed to maintain a substantial degree of relationship to a highly regarded ancestor or group of ancestors without causing high levels of inbreeding

23
Q

Pure breeding

A

The mating of purebreds of the same breed

24
Q

Outbreeding

A

The mating of unrelated individuals

25
Individual hybrid vigor
Hybrid vigor for the direct component of a trait
26
Maternal Hybrid Vigor
Hybrid vigor for the maternal component of a trait
27
Paternal Hybrid Vigor
Hybrid vigor paternal component of a trait
28
F1 Hybrid Vigor
Amount of HV obtainable in the first cross individuals; maximum hybrid vigor
29
Retained hybrid vigor
Hybrid vigor remaining in later generations of hybrids
30
Recombination loss
A loss in gene combination value caused by the gradual breaking up of favorable epistatic blocks of linked loci in advanced generations of certain hybrids
31
Backcross 1
The first generation of crosses between hybrids and purebreds of a parent breed or line
32
Degree of backcrossing
The proportional amount of backcrossing involved in mating
33
Backcrossing
The mating of a hybrid to a purebred of a parent Bree or line. The mating of an individual to any other individual with which it has one or more ancestral breed or lines in common
34
Cross breeding system
A mating system that uses cross breeding to maintain a desirable level of hybrid vigor and breed complementarity
35
Sire x Dam complementarity
The classic form of complementarity produced by mating sires strong in paternal traits to dams strong in maternal traits. Offspring inherit superior market characteristics from their sires and benefit from the maternal environment provided by their dams
36
Hybrid seedstock complementarity
The form of complementarity produced by crossing genetically divers breeds to create hybrid breeding animals with a desirable combination of breeding values
37
Rotational cross breeding system
A cross breeding system in which generations of females are "rotated" among sire breeds in such a way that they are mated t sires whose breed composition is most different from their own
38
Spatial rotation
A rotational cross breeding system in which all sire breeds are used simultaneously- they are spatially separated. Replacement females leave the location of their birth to be mated to sires with different breed composition
39
Rotation in Time
A rotational cross breeding system in which sire breeds are not used simultaneously, but are introduced in sequence
40
Terminal Sire Crossbreeding System
A crossbreeding system in which maternal-breed females are mated to paternal-breed sires to efficiently produce progeny that are especially desirable from a market standpoint. Not kept as replacements
41
Static Terminal System
A terminal sire crossbreeding system in which replacement females are either purchased or produced from separate purebred populations within the system
42
Rotational terminal system
A crossbreeding system combining a maternal rotation for producing replacement females with terminal sires for producing market offspring
43
Composite Animals
A hybrid with at least two and typically more breeds in its background. Expected to be bred to their own kind, retaining a level of hybrid vigor normally associated with traditional crossbreeding system
44
Composite Breed
A breed made up of two or more component breeds and designed to benefit from hybrid vigor without crossing with other breeds
45
Pure Composite System
A mating system limited to matings within a single composite breed
46
Composite/Terminal System
A crossbreeding system combining a maternal composite breed for producing replacement females with terminal sires for producing market offspring
47
Effective pop size
the size of a population as reflected by its rate of inbreeding
