Hybridisation

Hybridization is a process in biology that refers to the interbreeding of two different species or varieties of organisms to create a hybrid offspring. This process can occur naturally or be facilitated by human intervention, such as in selective breeding or genetic engineering. Hybridization can lead to offspring that exhibit a combination of traits from both parent organisms, which can sometimes result in increased vigor, known as hybrid vigor or heterosis. In botany, hybridization is often used to create new plant varieties with desirable characteristics, such as improved disease resistance or enhanced yield. In Hebrew, hybridization is known as היברידציה (Hibridesia). In Spanish, it is called hibridación, and in French, it is referred to as hybridation. Hybridization plays a significant role in agriculture, horticulture, and evolutionary biology, contributing to the diversity and adaptability of species.
