WHAT DOES OUTCROSS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Outcrossing

Outcrossing or outbreeding is the practice of introducing unrelated genetic material into a breeding line. It increases genetic diversity, thus reducing the probability of an individual being subject to disease or reducing genetic abnormalities. It is also known as a Patrilineal system. It is used in line-breeding to restore vigor or size and fertility to a breeding line. "Linebreeding" is where animals carry a common ancestor in their pedigrees and are bred together, should be considered distinct from the term "inbreeding" which is the production of offspring by parents more closely related than the average. Outcrossing is now the norm of most purposeful breeding, contrary to what is commonly believed. The outcrossing breeder intends to remove the traits by using "new blood". With dominant traits, one can still see the expression of the traits and can remove those traits whether one outcrosses, line breeds or inbreds. With recessives, outcrossing allows for the recessive traits to migrate across a population.
