Regarding out-breeding, the number of correct statements is:
| I. | Out-crossing is the practice of mating of animals within the same breed, but having no common ancestors on either side of their pedigree up to 4-6 generations. |
| II. | Out-crossing is the best breeding method for animals that are below average in productivity in milk production, growth rate in beef cattle, etc. |
| III. | A single outcross often helps to overcome inbreeding depression. |
| IV. | In cross-breeding superior males of one breed are mated with superior females of another breed. |
| V. | Cross-breeding allows the desirable qualities of two different breeds to be combined. |
| 1. | 2 | 2. | 3 |
