The union or reproduction of unrelated or distantly related individuals. Because outbreeding increases homozygosity—the occurrence of two alleles for the same trait at corresponding positions on homologous chromosomes—and significantly lowers the likelihood that harmful recessive genes will be expressed, it frequently results in offspring of higher quality. The most frequent type of outbreeding is crossbreeding. Hence, option 4 is the correct answer.
