Definitions:

Inbreeding Depression

A reduction in the average fitness of inbred individuals relative to that of outbred individuals. It arises because rare recessive alleles become expressed in a homozygous state where they can affect detrimentally the performance of individuals.

Sperm Competition

A form of sexual selection occurring after mating, in which the sperm from multiple males compete to fertilize the eggs of a female.

Fertilizing Eggs

The process in which male gametes (sperm) fuse with female gametes (eggs) to initiate the development of a new organism.

Genetic Variation

Genetic variation is the diversity in gene frequencies, resulting from mutations, genetic recombination, and other sources, providing the material for evolution and adaptation in populations.
