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 individuals
- a genetic hybrid carries two different alleles of the same gene
- a structural hybrid results from the fusion of gametes that have differing structure in at least one chromosome, as a result of structural abnormalities
- a numerical hybrid results from the fusion of gametes having different haploid numbers of chromosomes
- a 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.

What word describes the offspring of a cross between parents with different traits?
The offspring of a cross between parents with different traits is called a hybrid.
If traits that are passed on by parents are different they are said to be?
If traits passed on by parents are different, they are said to be heterozygous. This means the individual has two different alleles for a particular gene.
The first filial generation is the result of?
The first filial generation is the result from a cross between parents homozygous for different alleles at a locus. This is when where an individual inherits the same alleles for a particular gene from both parents.
Can two different species produce a sterile organism offspring?
Yes, when two different species mate, they can produce a hybrid offspring that may be sterile. This can happen because the parents may have different numbers of chromosomes which can lead to infertility in the hybrid offspring. An example is a mule, which is a hybrid offspring of a horse and a donkey, and is usually sterile.
What is the definition of hybrid vigor?
Hybrid vigor, also known as heterosis, is the phenomenon where the offspring of two genetically different parents exhibit traits that are superior to those of both parents. This can result in increased growth, fertility, and overall health in the hybrid offspring compared to the purebred parents.
What is the difference between purebred organism and a hybrid?
A purebred organism is the offspring of two homozygous parents, having either two dominant alleles, AA or two recessive alleles, aa. A hybrid is the offspring of two heterozygous parents, Aa.
What word describes the offspring of a cross between parents with different traits?
The offspring of a cross between parents with different traits is called a hybrid.
What described the offspring of a cross between parents with different traits?
hybrid
What is a hybrid for a punnet square?
A hybrid in a Punnett square represents the offspring resulting from the mating of two different purebred parents. In a Punnett square, hybrids are typically represented by a combination of letters or symbols that denote the different alleles inherited from each parent.
What do biologists call the offspring of crosses between parents with different traits?
Are called hybrids
Does a hybrid allele only have one allele for a trait?
A hybrid allele is a combination of alleles from two different parents for a specific trait. It can have two different alleles that may interact in various ways to determine the trait expression.
If traits that are passed on by parents are different they are said to be?
If traits passed on by parents are different, they are said to be heterozygous. This means the individual has two different alleles for a particular gene.
The first filial generation is the result of?
The first filial generation is the result from a cross between parents homozygous for different alleles at a locus. This is when where an individual inherits the same alleles for a particular gene from both parents.
What is a hybrid genotype?
Mm, Ff, Gg, Ll, Ss and ect

What is a hybrid offspring?
A hybrid offspring is the result of mating between two different species or varieties. It inherits characteristics from both parents and may exhibit traits different from either parent. Hybrid offspring are commonly found in plants and animals that have been selectively bred or in the wild through natural interbreeding.
