What is hybridization used for?

Answer 1

This is a process of mixing up of pure orbitals of atoms to give rise to a set of new ones. For instance in methane the carbon is sp3 hybridized, meaning that the atom's one s and three p orbitals are mixed to give four identical orbitals.

Answer 2

Hybridization is used to create new varieties or species with desired traits by crossing two or more different parent plants or animals. This technique is commonly employed in agriculture to improve crop yields, disease resistance, and other beneficial traits. In Biology, hybridization can also be used to study genetic relationships between species or to create genetically modified organisms.

Answer 3

Hybridization is a process by which orbitals within the same atom undergoes mixing (rearrangements) such that it can provide (a) Uniform energy level and (b) Suitable axes of symmetry to the incoming bonding orbitals. (a) S orbital has lower energy than p orbitals. To form two sigma bonds S and Px orbital of Berylium must be brought at the same energy level by pulling the s orbital up and the Px orbital down. (b) The S orbital has spherical symmetry and the Px orbital has a dumble shape symmetry. Mixing of these two ( s and Px) gives a butterfly shape Sp hybrid orbital where two hydrogen atom can form bond with the Berylium atom.

Answer 4

Hybridization means to produce offspring from two organisms of a different variety, breed or species. Hybridization can be induced naturally, such as the natural crossbreeding of two different flower varieties through wind pollination, or manipulated through genetic implantations by humans. Humans can manipulate genetics to create hybrids by either placing two different species of an animal or plant on the same confinement and waiting for them to breed, or implanting hybridized genes into a developing fetus or sex cell.

Answer 5

A method to test relatedness between two different species. Take the DNA, heat it, separate into two separate strands, take one of the strands and place in solution with another species strand yielded by the same method.

Now, the strands will bond, like base pair to like base pair. The closer the evolutionary relatedness the more bonding takes place and the less gaping occurs.

For instance, take a strand of chimp DNA and a strand of human DNA and they almost bond totally; base to base. Your dog, for instance, would bond at some bases, but larger gaps would be left between to strands where no bonding takes place as the base pairing no longer matches as these species have drifted apart down the ages.

Answer 6

it is change of genes of two things like in animals the genes of one cow(jersey)and other genes of other cow called red sindhi , to form a new breed.

Answer 7

Hybridization is used in valence bond theory - the basis of valence bond theory is that a chemical bond has pairs of electrons which are localized and sit between the atoms being bonded. Hybridization is a mathematical method of taking atomic orbitals and combining two or more of them to get new orbitals which point in the right direction. These orbitals are of higher energy than the "parent" orbitals - so the theory has to account for this so-called hybridization energy.

Typical hybrids used in the description of the bonding of organic molecules:

sp linear-- ethyne

sp2 planar trigonal- ethene

sp3 tetrahedral methane

Remember orbitals are not real- orbitals are only a solution to a wave function.

Answer 8

Theory that someatomic orbitals go thru an energy equalization process when forming bonds. This is used especially for carbon to describe formation of single, double, or triple bonds between carbon atoms. This is very useful in determining molecular shape.

Answer 9

Mixing desirable traits in one purebred plant with another one purebred plant that has another desirable trait. The result is a hybrid. For example: in animals, a cross between a donkey and a horse produces a mule.

Answer 10

If you mean what change would be seen in hybridization, the most hoped for change would be what is called hybrid vigor.
