Answer» Hybridization is the process of mixing different species or varieties genetically to produce hybrids with new characteristics. Types of hybridization: 1) Intervarietal hybridization In this two parents from the same species are crossed. 2) Distant hybridization This includes intergeneric or interspecific that is parents belonging to different genus or species respectively. Advantage: Hybridization has resulted in more varieties of the same species with more desirable characteristics and better local adaptation. Hybrid plants are usually more vigorous and faster growing than other plants. This can be great for those working in agriculture as they can reap greater crops and make more money. |
