  2. Hybrid (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_(biology)

    A mule is a sterile hybrid of a male donkey and a female horse.Mules are smaller than horses but stronger than donkeys, making them useful as pack animals.. In biology, a hybrid is the offspring resulting from combining the qualities of two organisms of different varieties, subspecies, species or genera through sexual reproduction.

    Chausie, a hybrid between a jungle cat and domestic cat. Subfamily Pantherinae. Genus Panthera. Ligers and tigons (crosses between a lion and a tiger) and other Panthera hybrids such as the lijagulep. Species P. tigris. A hybrid between a Bengal tiger and a Siberian tiger is an example of an intra-specific hybrid. Family Canidae

  4. Heterosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterosis

    Heterosis, hybrid vigor, or outbreeding enhancement is the improved or increased function of any biological quality in a hybrid offspring. An offspring is heterotic if its traits are enhanced as a result of mixing the genetic contributions of its parents.

  5. Hybrid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid

    Hybrid (biology), an offspring resulting from cross-breeding Hybrid grape, grape varieties produced by cross-breeding two Vitis species; Hybridity, the property of a hybrid plant which is a union of two different genetic parent strains; Hybrid (particle physics), a valence quark-antiquark pair and one or more gluons

  6. Hybrid speciation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_speciation

    For a hybrid form to persist, it must be able to exploit the available resources better than either parent species, which, in most cases, it will have to compete with.For example: while grizzly bears and polar bears may be able to mate and produce offspring, a grizzly–polar bear hybrid is apparently less- suited in either of the parents' ecological niches than the original parent species ...

  7. F1 hybrid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F1_hybrid

    F1 hybrid (also known as filial 1 hybrid) is the first filial generation of offspring of distinctly different parental types. [1] F1 hybrids are used in genetics, and in selective breeding, where the term F1 crossbreed may be used. The term is sometimes written with a subscript, as F 1 hybrid. [2] [3] Subsequent generations are called F 2, F 3 ...

  8. Hybridization in perennial plants - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybridization_in_perennial...

    Hybrid species are often more vigorous and genetically differed than their ancestors. There are primarily two different forms of hybridization: natural hybridization in an uncontrolled environment, whereas artificial hybridization (or breeding ) occurs primarily for the agricultural purposes.

  9. Hybridity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybridity

    In biology, a hybrid is the offspring resulting from combining the qualities of two organisms of different varieties, species or genera through sexual reproduction. Generally, it means that each cell has genetic material from two different organisms, whereas an individual where some cells are derived from a different organism is called a ...
