The opinions and hypothesis of numerous researchers about the genetic nature of these events are presented. The effects of inbreeding on different biological traits of animals and manifestations of inbreeding depression as a possible result of various allele and gene interactions are discussed.Theanalysisofinformationdemonstratedthatdespitethenewbodyofknowledgeaboutinbreeding and inbreeding depression accumulatedduring thelast 10–15 years, someissuesarestillnotclearthusposingimportant research tasks to genetics.
