Allomixis
Definition
A biological phenomenon or reproduction mechanism characterized by the fusion or combination of genetic material originating from individuals with completely different origins, unrelated, or belonging to distinct genetic lines. This structural process plays an essential role in hybridization, stimulating increased heterozygosity within a population and preventing genetic defects linked to inbreeding.
