Understand the definition of each term provided: Hybridization, Outcrossing, Testcross, and Inbreeding.
Hybridization refers to the crossing of two genetically different individuals, often from different species or varieties, to produce a hybrid.
Outcrossing is the mating of unrelated or distantly related individuals within the same breed or population to increase genetic diversity.
Testcross involves mating an individual with a homozygous recessive individual to determine the genotype of the first individual based on offspring phenotypes.
Inbreeding is the mating of related individuals, where the sire and dam share at least one common ancestor, increasing homozygosity in offspring.
