Concept information
Preferred term
hybridization of plant and animal species
Definition
- Hybridization is a fundamental evolutionary process that can lead to further differentiation by the creation of unique individuals or new evolutionary significant units that eventually may become new species. However, hybridization can also create significant barriers on the path to diversification by allowing gene flow between two related yet distinct individuals or populations that will decrease the differentiation between them.
