Hybridization is the process of producing ahybrid. A hybrid, in general sense, is any of mixed origin or composition, or the combination of two or more different things. In reproductive biology for instance, hybridization (also spelled hybridisation) refers to the process of producing offspring by...

The biological world or life on earth is a marvel that has amazed us since time immemorial. The rich natural diversity of biological forms whether it beplants,animals,insectsorfungihave all of us mesmerized at the first sight besides the basic role to sustain life on the planet Earth. The e...
Domestication is a process where wild plants evolve into crop plants through artificial selection involving hybridization followed by selective breeding. This leads to the increased adaptation and use of the plant.Answer and Explanation: Plant domestication is when wil...
In some species, the funicle develops into a larger structure on the seed called an aril, which is often brightly colored, juicy, and contains sugars that are consumed by animals that may also disperse the seed (as in nutmeg, arrowroot, oxalis, and castor bean). This is distinct from th...
Interbreeding between two different groups is called hybridization and is viewed differently by different scientists. In animals, hybrid offspring of two different species are thought to be unhealthy or infertile as adults, but in plants hybrid offspring are often thought to be more vigorous than the...
Every living thing passes down its genes from parent to offspring, and plants are no different. However, all offspring look slightly different from the parent, a phenomenon known asvariation. Scientists can take advantage of this by using a process calledhybridization. Variants of a plant can b...
Compare and contrast speciation via autopolyploidy (such as has apparently happened in wheat and some mint species) with speciation via polyploid hybridization (as has apparently happened in goatsbeard flowers, What are some observed instances of speciation? What is sympatric sp...
How is that possible? That’s because they are facultatively parthenogenetic. They have a so-called “hybridization event” wherein females mate with males of another species. (Ref. 10)New Mexico Whiptail (Aspidoscelis neomexicana). Credit: Greg Schechter, CC BY 2.0....
