If the first half of the PPT is depressing, the second half is triumphant. (Hybrid Vigor) is the phenomenon where a crossbred individual (hybrid) outperforms the average of its two purebred parents.
Two major hypotheses (both presented in the lecture):
Despite risks, inbreeding is used in:
Why don’t farmers just save seeds from hybrid corn to plant next year? ( Answer: Because the F2 generation shows severe inbreeding depression and yield drops ~30–50%.)
Why does mating close relatives lead to disaster, while mating distant or different breeds leads to a biological boom? The answer lies in the delicate dance of alleles, dominance, and the hidden burden of deleterious mutations.
