Category:Hybrid

In biology a hybrid is an offspring of two animals or plants of different races, breeds, varieties, species, or genera. Using genetics terminology, it may be defined as follows.


 * 1) In general usage, hybrid is synonymous with heterozygous: any offspring resulting from the breeding of two genetically distinct individuals


 * 1) a genetic hybrid carries two different alleles of the same gene


 * 1) a structural hybrid results from the fusion of gametes that have differing structure in at least one chromosome, as a result of structural abnormalities


 * 1) a numerical hybrid results from the fusion of gametes having different haploid numbers of chromosomes

In The Elements of Insanity RariFruit and Fluttershout say is this: "The Five of us inadvertently stumbled upon that forsaken graveyard, One by One, And one by one, our curiosity got the better of us, and we awoke the spirits of long respected characters or monsters that people seem to love. With nothing to lose, said spirits found their portal back to the land of living: us." "The possession took its toll on us, and its evident. Our mind are but fractured remnants of what they formally were, but when we witnessed what we were all able to do... We cast off our worries and embraced our new forms."
 * 1) a permanent hybrid is a situation where only the heterozygous genotype occurs, because all homozygous combinations are lethal.
