Heterozygosity‚ fitness and inbreeding depression in natural populations Inbreeding is mating between close relatives and can depress components of reproductive fitness thus having detrimental effects on the populations survival‚ a phenomenon known as inbreeding depression. There are two principal theories for the mechanism of inbreeding depression. The partial dominance hypothesis (Charlesworth and Charlesworth‚ 1987) suggests that inbreeding increases the frequency of homozygous combinations of
