Definition (1 sentence): A hybrid in biology is an organism produced by crossing individuals from different species, subspecies, or genetically distinct populations, resulting in offspring with a mix of parental traits.
Two examples:
- Mule — the offspring of a male donkey (jack) and a female horse (mare), typically sterile.
- Triticale — a man-made hybrid grain produced by crossing wheat (Triticum) and rye (Secale) to combine yield and hardiness.
One sentence using the word:
- Farmers value triticale as a hybrid that combines wheat’s high yield with rye’s tolerance to poor soils.
