are these scenarios considered inbreeding??

[agent A]

just wondering, are the following situations considered inbreeding:

1: 2 animals with the same father, different mothers, mate

2: 2 animals with the same mother, different fathers, mate

3: 2 unrelated animals mate and their offspring r divided into group A and group B, individuals in group A only mate with others in group A and individuals in group B only mate with others in group B for several genrations, then individuals in group A mate with individuals in group B

I think all those scenarios are a bit better than straight up inbreeding because there is still a chance of new genetic material, but yes they are all technically inbreeding and do run the risks associated with it.

Interestingly enough, I went the Vancouver Zoo in Canada and they had a butterfly free flying exhibit and I saw to different species of butterflies mating. I thought it was funny and took a pic.
