Hybrids are often named by the portmanteau method, combining the names of the two parent species.
Wild populations of animals and plants have evolved naturally over millions of years through a process of natural selection in contrast to human controlled selective breeding or artificial selection for desirable traits from the human point of view. Normally, these two methods of reproduction operate independently of one another.
Background
Hybridisation means the breeding of two different types of plants or animals. For example, a mule is the result of the union between a horse and a donkey, two different species. The resulting animal has desirable characteristics from both parents but all mules are sterile and cannot produce any offspring. Hybridisation also occurs between different varieties or breeds within a species, such as dog, cattle or sheep breeds. Many, probably most agricultural animals and plants are the result of hybridisation. This results in offspring with desirable

    The way organisms evolve is a very delicate process, and a number of factors can influence this. A prime example would be the recent evolution of the wild Soay sheep residing on the Scottish island of Hirta. First of all, this changing environment is producing variations to this species in ways that evolutionists would not expect. In addition, the impact of these changes is widespread throughout this population, and will lead to many differences from previous populations of these sheep. Finally, the way the environment is affecting natural evolution of this species is different than many people would suspect. Overall, the changing environment of the wild Soay sheep is giving rise to altered natural selection forces and thereby causing evolutionary processes.…

    Technology commentator, Robert X. Cringley, states,“Here’s the secret of hybrid corn. Hybridization is just crude genetic engineering.” Genetic engineering is when a DNA is manually added to an organism in hopes of adding new traits that are not already found in that specific organism.(agbiosafety, n.d.) Both genetic engineering and hybridization result in new genetic types. Although their processes might be different, they still achieve the same end-result: new genetic…

    Since the natural resources are usually limited, the reproduction results to competition for survival by utilizing the scarcely available resources. Species of organisms that posses traits that give them advantage over the others, they usually survive and pass the traits to the next generation unless the others organisms lacking the traits which do not survive the competition. Thus the process of natural selection is determined by the organism’s evolutionary fitness which shows the ability of an organism to survive and reproduce and determines the amount of genetic traits to be passed to the next…

    Natural selection was first noted by Charles Darwin and his theory of evolution originates mainly from his observations of the Galapagos finch (Clegg, 2007) and how the species had evolved over time to best survive dependent on their environments. Darwin’s theory considers that each and every species is subject to change, evolving to better suit their…

    Learning from the National Geographic there are four different types of speciation. All have to do with separation or isolation of one group from the other. Realizing that the time for a new species to evolve could be a process over millions of years, like the example of the Galapagos finches, being isolate from one another by ocean. Over millions of years, each species of finch has developed a unique beak. (National Geographic, 2015)…

    For instance, both Lion and Snow Leopard are parts of Panthera – a genus of the family Felidae, but they belong to two different species which are called the Lions and the Leopards, respectively. Although at the first time they had the same ancestor and but after that they evolved in diverse ways because of mutations, genetic drift and natural selection, so two new species are created. The happened evolution in this research paper will be made clear through the comparison in similarities and differences between Lion and Snow Leopard.…
