Difference between Heterosis and Outcrossing

Heterosis vs. Outcrossing

Heterosis, hybrid vigor, or outbreeding enhancement, is the improved or increased function of any biological quality in a hybrid offspring. Out-crossing or out-breeding means that the crossing between different breeds.This is the practice of introducing unrelated genetic material into a breeding line.

Similarities between Heterosis and Outcrossing

Heterosis and Outcrossing have 4 things in common (in Unionpedia): Animal husbandry, Charles Darwin, Inbreeding depression, Outbreeding depression.

Animal husbandry

Animal husbandry is the branch of agriculture concerned with animals that are raised for meat, fibre, milk, eggs, or other products.

Charles Darwin

Charles Robert Darwin, (12 February 1809 – 19 April 1882) was an English naturalist, geologist and biologist, best known for his contributions to the science of evolution.

Inbreeding depression

Inbreeding depression is the reduced biological fitness in a given population as a result of inbreeding, or breeding of related individuals.

Outbreeding depression

In biology, outbreeding depression is when progeny resulting from crosses between genetically distant individuals (outcrossing) exhibit lower fitness in the parental environment than either of their parents or than progeny from crosses between individuals that are more closely related.

Heterosis and Outcrossing Comparison

Heterosis has 80 relations, while Outcrossing has 14. As they have in common 4, the Jaccard index is 4.26% = 4 / (80 + 14).
