hybrid vigor
Hybrid vigor, also known as heterosis, refers to the phenomenon in which hybrid offspring (the result of the mating or cross-breeding of two different species or varieties) demonstrate superior qualities, such as increased size, growth rate, fertility, yield, or resistance to disease, compared to their purebred parents. This improvement in traits is due to genetic diversity. It is a concept widely used in animal and plant breeding.
