A cross between dissimilar individuals to bring together their best characteristics is called
Correct answer: B. Hybridization
- A. Genetic Engineering
- B. Hybridization
- C. Inbreeding
- D. Sequencing
Explanation
Hybridization involves the crossing of dissimilar individuals to bring together the best of both parents in the offspring. It leads to variation among species. From the above statements, the definition of hybridization corresponds to the statement of the question. Thus, option 'B' is correct.
