    A student's research project discusses the advantages and disadvantages of inbreeding in science. The advantages include increased uniformity and ability to pass on traits to offspring, while fixing desired traits and breed type. However, the disadvantages are many and include lower fertility, birth defects, fewer and smaller offspring with slower growth and shorter lifespans, along with higher mortality rates and increased genetic diseases and lower vigor overall.
