Are Early Girl Tomatoes a man made hybrid or plant made hybrids?

Since plants exist biologically to reproduce viable offspring - which hybrids are not- nearly every plant hybrid is a direct result of humans manipulating the pollination process. Q-tips and paper bags are your friends.
I think you are asking if they are genetically engineered, which is a rather different question. Humans have been creating hybrid plants for thousands of years. It involves getting some pollen on a q-tip and manually pollinating the other plant. The paper bag is used to prevent any other pollen from reaching the flower that you just hand-pollinated. Nothing weird or scary about that.
Genetically engineered plants are created in a lab using gene splicing techniques and many plants created this way often use genes that may not even come from plants at all. You may seem them referred to as Franken-food after Frankenstein monster, because the original Frankenstein was cobbled together out of various parts.

How is a hybrid produced?
by adding an electric motor to a petrol engine. there are 2 types, mild hybrids like the Honda insight, and full hybrids like the Toyota prius
When hybrids are crossed what is the genotype of the offspring?
The term "hybrid" in biology means one who carries different alleles for the same trait. For example, a hybrid plant's genotype for height is Hh. When crossing two hybrids, we are performing this operation: Hh x Hh. The offsprings' genotypes can vary from: HH Hh hh
When is the best time to plant tomatoes in Palm Springs ca?
Early May is usually best
Is a hybrid the offspring of parents that have different alleles for a trait?
For other uses, see Hybrid.In biology and specifically, genetics, the term hybridhas several meanings, all referring to the offspring of sexual reproduction.[1]In general usage, hybrid is synonymous with heterozygous: any offspring resulting from the mating of two distinctly homozygous individualsa genetic hybrid carries two different alleles of the same genea structural hybrid results from the fusion of gametes that have differing structure in at least one chromosome, as a result of structural abnormalitiesa numerical hybrid results from the fusion of gametes having different haploid numbers of chromosomesa permanent hybrid is a situation where only the heterozygous genotype occurs, because all homozygous combinations are lethal.From a taxonomic perspective, hybrid refers to offspring resulting from the interbreeding between two animals or plants of different species.[2]Hybrids between different subspecies within a species (such as between the Bengal tiger and Siberian tiger) are known as intra-specific hybrids. Hybrids between different species within the same genus (such as between lions and tigers) are sometimes known as interspecific hybrids or crosses. Hybrids between different genera (such as between sheep and goats) are known as intergeneric hybrids. Extremely rare interfamilial hybrids have been known to occur (such as the guineafowl hybrids).[3] No interordinal (between different orders) animal hybrids are known.The second type of hybrid consists of crosses between populations, breeds or cultivars within a single species. This meaning is often used in plant and animal breeding, where hybrids are commonly produced and selected because they have desirable characteristics not found or inconsistently present in the parent individuals or populations. This flow of genetic material between populations or races is often called hybridisation.(a hybrid is when i fd ya mum)
How do you create a hybrid plant?
You cross-pollinate two different varieties and the resulting offspring are hybrids. Of the same species.

Why do hybrids that were developed from cross-pollination adapt more to environmental conditions than their parent plants?
The hybrid (mixture) plant gets the adaptive characteristics of both its parent plants and makes it stronger than its natural plants.
What are hybrid crops?
A hybrid has the genetics of both of its originating crops but may have complete unique outward characteristics. This is because two hidden recessive genes from the two originating crops can be combined to produce an outward visible effect in the hybrid.
A plant that receives different genetic information from each parent is a what?

What do you call a new variety of plant produced by cross-fertilizing related plants?
A hybrid.
