In biology, a hybrid is the offspring resulting from combining the qualities of two organisms of different varieties, species or genera through sexual reproduction. Generally, it means that each cell has genetic material from two different organisms, whereas an individual where some cells are derived from a different organism is called a ...
Hybrid speciation occurs when two divergent lineages (e.g., species) with independent evolutionary histories come into contact and interbreed. Hybridization can result in speciation when hybrid populations become isolated from the parental lineages, leading to divergence from the parent populations.

In biology, a hybrid is the offspring of individuals of different taxonomic groups or, in another sense, an offspring of crosses between populations, breeds, or cultivars within a single species.
A hybrid is the offspring produced by organisms of two different varieties or species. Hybridization occurs often in nature between different varieties of the same species, but much less often between related or different species. The product of such a cross is usually unable to reproduce itself.

Oct 3, 2015 · Hybridization Acts as a Powerful Force Driving Diversification and Evolutionary Innovation. Hybridization is ubiquitous, occurring in almost all sexually reproducing groups of organisms (Dowling and Secor 1997; Mallet 2005; Arnold and Meyer 2006 ), and resulting in the transfer of genes from one population to another (gene flow).
A panoramic view from a ridge located between Segla and Hesten mountain summits in the island of Senja, Troms, Norway in 2014. Biology is the scientific study of life. It is a natural science with a broad scope but has several unifying themes that tie it together as a single, coherent field. For instance, all organisms are made up of cells that ...
