A hybrid is the same thing as a heterozygote. It has one dominant and one recessive allele. For example:

  • AA = Homozygous dominant
  • Aa = Heterozygous
  • AA = Homozygous recessive

The AA, Aa, or AA is known as the organism's genotype. The phenotype will vary depending on the dominance. For things that show complete dominance, AA and Aa might represent Green peas and AA might represent yellow peas (using Mendel's peas).

Genotype is the genetic constitution of an organism. The term is used to describe the allelic composition of the genome.

Phenotype is the observable characteristics or physical features of an organism

A hybrid is essentially a mixture of two things. With reference to Biology however, a hybrid is a cross between two species or strains of an organism. Most often, hybrid plants are created by crossing two parent plants with desirable features so as to obtain a progeny plant with a combination of those desirable features.

Hybrid in general means put together. So in a car, it would mean using both a hydrocarbon fuel (petrol or diesel) and electrical energy.

In genetics, hybrid would be in a similar war. Two animals or plants cross-breeding would create a hybrid organism. So a Liger or Tion would both be hybrids.
