TRANSGRESSIVE CHARACTERISTICS. “Studies of quantitative traits in segregating hybrid populations sometimes report the presence of phenotypes that are extreme relative to those of either parental line. The generation of these extreme phenotypes is referred to as transgressive segregation, and this is a major mechanism by which extreme or novel adaptations observed in new hybrid ecotypes or species are thought to arise.”
