Genetic dis-assortative mating

Genetic dis-assortative mating

  • Such individuals are mated which are less closely related by ancestry than would be under random mating. So unrelated individuals are mated, which are of different population i.e inter varietal or inter specific crosses. Effects are of similar to migration. This system reduces homozygosity and increase heterozygosity.
