Hybridisation is the crossing of two species. It is not common and the result is usually sterile. A good example of this is the mule, using a mare and a jack donkey. The mule has the courage, stamina and surefootedness of the donkey with the strength of a horse, and has been a very useful pack animal that played an important part in history. Some hybrids are unintentional, like a lion and a tiger breeding (result being a liger or a tigon, depending on which parent was the lion and which the tiger.) Hybridisation does occur naturally, but it is uncommon because animals prefer to breed with their own species.
Hybridization is the process of combining two complementary single-stranded DNA or RNA molecules and allowing them to form a single double-stranded molecule through base pairing.

What impacts have pedigree hybridization made on crop plants and farm animals?

Pedigree hybridization is the development of genetically modified foods supposedly to provide better quality, more tolerant, food crops, thus improving the safety of our food. Currently there are also programs for developing genetically modified animals/fish.


How are inbreeding and hybridization the same?

Inbreeding is the breeding of closely related individuals of a species generally to produce more uniform offspring. Hybridization is the breeding of different varieties (breeds) or even different species to increase variation/ vigor in the genetic population. An example of variety hybridization would Labradoodles (labrador X poodle). An example of species hybridization would be (wolf X coyote). Many offspring produced from species hybridization are sterile... depending on the chromosome number compatibility and other factors.


What term is used to describe the deliberae mating of two different breeds of animals to produce offspring with particular characteristics?

The term used to describe the deliberate mating of two different breeds of animals to produce offspring with particular characteristics is called crossbreeding.


Were do lygers come from?

Ligers are hybrid animals, resulting from the mating of a male lion and a female tiger. They do not exist in the wild and are mostly found in captivity. The hybridization occurs due to their geographical overlap in regions where lions and tigers inhabit.


Can a cat breed with a opposum?

No, cats and opossums cannot breed with each other. They are two different species with different genetic makeup, making hybridization between them impossible.

What is hybridization and what is the purpose of hybridization?

Hybridization is the process of combining two different varieties or species of organisms to create offspring with desired traits. The purpose of hybridization is to improve certain characteristics in plants or animals, such as yield, disease resistance, or appearance.


What is Traditional Hybridization procedures in plants and animals?

Restrictive enzymes


Why is hybridization helpful to humans?

Hybridization in plants can lead to improved traits such as disease resistance, higher yield, and better adaptation to environmental stresses. In animals, hybridization can result in animals with unique genetic combinations that could potentially have beneficial traits for agriculture or research.


What are the advantages and of hybridization in animals What are the advantages and of hybridization in plants?

Advantages of making hybrids of plants and animals is that they may develop different adaptations, which could make them adapt better to their environment. The hybrid organism may also keep a certain species from dying out.


What is the crossing of plants and animals to produce specific traits in the offspring?

It is called cross-breeding, selective breeding or hybridization.

Which reproductive isolating mechanism is mostly restricted to animals?

The reproductive isolating mechanism that is mostly restricted to animals is behavioral. Reproductive isolation is also referred to as hybridization barriers.


What is hybridization of Be in BeH2?

The hybridization of Be in BeH2 is sp hybridization. Beryllium has 2 valence electrons and forms 2 bonds with the two hydrogen atoms in BeH2, resulting in sp hybridization.

How can one determine the hybridization of an atom from its Lewis structure?

To determine the hybridization of an atom from its Lewis structure, count the number of electron groups around the atom. The hybridization is determined by the number of electron groups, with each group representing a bond or lone pair. The hybridization can be identified using the following guidelines: If there are 2 electron groups, the hybridization is sp. If there are 3 electron groups, the hybridization is sp2. If there are 4 electron groups, the hybridization is sp3. If there are 5 electron groups, the hybridization is sp3d. If there are 6 electron groups, the hybridization is sp3d2.
