Best Answer

Each time Mendel studied a trait, he crossed two plants with different expressions of the trait and found that the new plants all looked like one of the two parents. He called these new plants hybrids because they received different genetic information, or different alleles, for a trait from each parent.

They are called post zygotic barriers.


Why is self pollination better than cross pollination?

Cross pollination results in hybrid seed formation. Hybrids in general are vigorous than self pollinated plants due to additive gene action.


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)

Varieties of plants in which self- fertilzation produces offspring that are identical to the parents. Are they referred to as hybrids?

Repeatedly Self-fertilized plants are homozygous that is why they are identical to the parents. They are not hybrids. Hybrids are essentially heterozygous due to cross fertilization.

Are all corn plants the same?

All corn plants are corn, but the various "varieties" and hybrids have widely different characteristics, both of the plants and of the corn produced. The largest cultivars for human consumption are hybrids (sweet corn) rather than the field corn which is native to North America.
