DEFINITION :
The crossing of dissimilar individuals to produce best of both organisms.
One advantage of hybridization is that it can combine disease resistance of one
organism with the production capacity of another or the act
can be said process of mating organisms of different
varieties or speciesto create a hybrid.
Something
having two kinds of components that produce the same or similar resultsin
biology and specifically, genetics, the term hybrid has several meanings, all
referring to the offspring of sexual reproduction. Sexual reproduction is a
process that creates a new organism by combining the genetic material of two
organisms, it occurs both in eukaryotes and in prokaryotes.
1. MULE
A mule is
the offspring of a male donkey and a female horse. Horses and donkeys are
different species, with different numbers of chromosomes. Of the two F1 hybrids
between these two species, a mule is easier to obtain than a hinny (the
offspring of a male horse and a female donkey). The size of a mule and work to which
it is put depends largely on the breeding of the mule's dam. Mules can be
lightweight, medium weight, or even, when produced from draught horse mares, of
moderately heavy weight.
It has been claimed that mules are
"more patient, sure-footed, hardy and long-lived than horses, and they are
considered less obstinate, faster, and more intelligent than donkeys
2. BEEFALO
Beefalo are a fertile hybrid offspring
of domestic cattle, Bos taurus, and the American bison,Bison
bison (generally called
buffalo in the US). The breed was created to combine the characteristics of
both animals for beef production.
Beefalo
are primarily cattle in genetics and appearance, with the breed association
defining a full beefalo as one with 3⁄8 (37.5%)
bison genetics, while animals with higher percentages of bison genetics are
called "bison hybrids".
3.LIGER
The liger is a hybrid cross
between a male lion (Panthera leo)
and a tigress (Panthera tigris).
Thus, it has parents with the same genus but of different species. It is distinct from the similar
hybrid tigon. It is the largest of all known extant felines.
Ligers
enjoy swimming, which is a characteristic of tigers, and are very sociable like
lions. Ligers exist only in captivity because the habitats of the parental
species do not overlap in the wild. Historically, when the Asiatic Lion was prolific, the territories of lions and tigers did overlap and there are legends of
ligers existing in the wild. Notably, ligers typically grow larger than either
parent species, unlike tigons which
tend to be about as large as a female tiger
4.
TRITICALE
Triticale is a hybrid of wheat (Triticum) and rye
(Secale) first bred in laboratories during the late 19th century. The grain was
originally bred in Scotland and Sweden. Commercially available triticale is
almost always a second generation hybrid,, a cross between two kinds of primary
(first cross) triticales. As a rule, triticale combines the yield potential and
grain quality of wheat with the disease and environmental tolerance (including
soil conditions) of rye.
5.
HICAN
A hican is a tree
resulting from a cross between
a pecan and some other type of hickory (members of the genus Carya) - or
the nutfrom such a hybrid tree.
Such
crosses often occur naturally. While most such hybrids produce unfilled nuts or
have other serious flaws, some have desirable qualities from both species and
are propagated commercially for nut production. Their properties vary greatly
with the particular ancestral species of hickory. Some produce very desirable
nuts with a flavor said to be similar to the better types of hickory nuts (not
all hickories produce palatable nuts) but far easier to shell.
6. BROCCOFLOWER
Broccoflowerrefers to either of two edible plants of the species Brassica oleracea with light green heads. The edible portion is the immature
flower head (inflorescence) of the plant.
There
are two forms of Brassica oleracea that may be referred to as broccoflower, both of which are considered cultivars of cauliflower (Brassica oleracea var. botrytis) because they have inflorescence meristems rather than flower buds when harvested.One is shaped like
regular cauliflower, the other has a spiky appearance. They share a curd color that is a similar hue to that of broccoli
