In genetics, the word hybrid can mean several things. In general, hybrid refers to the combination of two different things (eg. genes) to create something new.
The two most common meanings of hybrid are:
- an organism with two different alleles (versions of a gene) for a specific trait (eg. Bb, Tt). This means the organism is heterozygous for that gene.
- the offspring of two genetically distinct organisms (this would also be called a heterozygote).

What is the name of the offspring of a first cross?
The offspring of a first cross between two different breeds or species is known as a hybrid.
What is the hybrid of the common primrose and the cowslip called?
The hybrid between these two species is sometimes called the false oxslip because it resembles that species. Another valid name for this cross is the polyanthus. The polyanthuses you will find in people's gardens all derive from this cross - they retain the large flowers of the primrose with the many-flowered heads of the cowslip
What crosses between two hybrid Tt pea plants?
A cross between two hybrid Tt pea plants would be expected to produce 1/4 TT, 1/2 Tt, and 1/4 tt offspring.
What is the probability of producing a tall pea plant from a genetics cross between two hybrid tall pea plants?
50%
How do you create a hybrid plant?
Creating a hybrid plant involves cross-pollinating two different parent plants to achieve desired traits in the resulting offspring. This can be done by manually transferring pollen from one plant to the stigma of another plant. The seeds produced from this cross can then be grown to see the characteristics of the hybrid plant.
''A hybrid is crossed between two species'' - true or false?
True. A hybrid is the offspring resulting from a cross between two different species.
Can you make your own species?
You can create a hybrid between two species through their cross pollination, but that is not new species.
What is the name of the offspring of a first cross?
The offspring of a first cross between two different breeds or species is known as a hybrid.
What is the difference between a hybrid and a purebred?
A purebred organism is the offspring of two homozygous parents. A hybrid on the other hand, comes from two heterozygous parents, which is a cross between two species.
What does hybrid mean in science?
A hybrid is a cross between two variations.
What is the probability of a hybrid offspring in a cross between two hybrid plants?
The hybrid is the offspring so the probability is 1.
What is the hybrid of the common primrose and the cowslip called?
The hybrid between these two species is sometimes called the false oxslip because it resembles that species. Another valid name for this cross is the polyanthus. The polyanthuses you will find in people's gardens all derive from this cross - they retain the large flowers of the primrose with the many-flowered heads of the cowslip
What cross occurs between two parents to study two pairs of contrasting traits?
Hybrid cross
What are two genes in a hybrid?
In genetics, a hybrid is crossing two species. It involves more that two genes. A mule is the hybrid of donkey and a mare (horse). If you cross a stallion with a jenny (female donkey) you will get a henny. A henny has no value.
What does sterile hybrid mean?
It means that a hybrid species will not be able to conceive a child as it is infertile. In other words, if a hybrid is produced between two species of animals, it will not be able to reproduce.
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.
Which two animals are bred to create a tigon?
A Tigon is a hybrid cross between a male Tiger and a Lioness. A cross between a male Lion and a Tigress is called a Liger. Such hybrids only appear among cats kept in captivity, as the two species do not mix in the wild.
