hybrid
hybrid 1. An individual animal that results from a cross between parents of differing
genotypes. Strictly, most individuals in an outbreeding population are hybrids, but the term is more usually reserved for cases in which the parents are individuals whose
genomes are sufficiently distinct for them to be recognized as different
species or
subspecies. A good example is the mule, produced by cross-breeding an ass and a horse (each of which can breed true as a species). Hybrids may be fertile or sterile depending on qualitative and/or quantitative differences in the genomes of the two parents. Hybrids like the mule, whose parents are of different species, are frequently sterile.
2. By analogy, any
heterozygote. Each heterozygote represents dissimilar
alleles at a given
locus, and this difference results from a cross between parental
gametes possessing differing alleles at that locus.
3. (
graft hybrid) See
GRAFT.
