1. Does 'inbreed' mean two organisms in one family such as sister and brother, breed together? Or it means two organisms in one same species breed together?
2. Does 'interbreed' mean two organisms in different species breed together?
Hope you can clarify the definitions for me, thanks.

1. Inbreeding occurs when close relatives produce offspring ("family" is a human classification)
2. Yes, but also varieties or races.
