Pedigrees and Pure Breeding

As we learn about heredity, tracking traits through generations becomes a helpful skill. Pedigrees are the most common way to track traits (good, bad and otherwise) through time. The Amoeba Sisters review the basics of understanding these diagrams.

Many people use pedigrees to track fancy breed of animals, however we have been true breeding (or inbreeding) some animals into serious health problems. Adam Ruins Everything shows us how dogs are over-bred.

The Royal Families of europe have been conduction and informal True-Breeding experiment for centuries now. Is all of this inbreeding good or bad. Well it's sort of both.
