Homozygous purelines in cattle can be obtained by:

1. mating of unrelated individuals of same breed.
2. mating of individuals of different breed.
3. mating of individuals of different species.
4. mating of related individuals of same breed.

Correct answer: mating of related individuals of same breed.

Solution

Homozygous pure lines are produced by inbreeding, which increases the chance that offspring inherit identical alleles from both parents. Mating related individuals of the same breed is the standard way to build homozygosity over generations.
