Purebred is a term used for a homozygous organism, meaning it carries two identical alleles for a particular trait, while hybrid is a term used for a heterozygous organism, meaning it carries two different alleles for a particular trait. In other words, a purebred organism is genetically uniform for a specific trait, while a hybrid organism has genetic variability for that trait.
