Transgressive segregation is a genetic phenomenon where hybrid offspring display extreme traits (phenotypes) that are outside the range of either parent, resulting from novel combinations of parental genes after recombination, often leading to new, highly adapted varieties in agriculture or potentially new species in nature, a key mechanism for generating variation beyond parental limits. How it works Multiple genes: It involves quantitative traits controlled by many genes (QTLs) with various ef
