Overdominance Hypothesis

The Overdominance Hypothesis is a genetic theory positing that heterozygotes at a given locus exhibit greater fitness than homozygotes, thereby explaining inbreeding depression through the superior performance of individuals carrying two different alleles relative to those with identical alleles.
