Answer and Explanation:

Hybridization results when varieties of organisms with different characteristics are crossed. The resulting offspring often show characteristics which are superior to either of the parents and are said to possess hybrid vigour. Artificial breeding is done either by inbreeding or cross breeding. Plant and animal breeding involves selectively choosing and breeding those plants and animals with desirable qualities.
