Hybridization is crossing two varieties of the same or similar species through pollination or other natural methods to create a new variety. Genetic engineering is the process of artifically inserting a gene from one species into another species to create a new trait, such as inserting a bacteria gene into corn to create resistance to a pesticide. So, though some consider them to be the same, they are not. Hybridization is a completely different process than genetic engineering.

When scientists take the genes of two different species and combine them we call this?

Genetic engineering. It involves manipulating the genetic material of organisms to create a new combination of genes that is not found in nature. This process can result in genetically modified organisms (GMOs) with desired traits, such as increased resistance to pests or improved nutritional content.

What are the 3 methods used for developing organisms with desirable traits?

The three methods commonly used for developing organisms with desirable traits are selective breeding, genetic engineering, and hybridization. Selective breeding involves selecting and breeding organisms with specific traits over generations. Genetic engineering involves directly manipulating an organism's genome to introduce new traits. Hybridization involves crossing two different species or varieties to combine desirable traits from both.
