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

    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)…

    The basic idea of natural selection is that a population of organisms can change over the generations if individuals having certain heritable traits leave more offspring than other individuals. The result of natural selection is evolutionary adaptation, a prevalence of inherited characteristics that enhance organisms’ survival and reproduction in specific environments.…

    As a result of natural selection, a population—a group of individuals of the same species living in the same place at the same time—can change over generations. Natural selection leads to evolutionary adaptation, a population’s increase in the frequency of traits suited to the environment (Simon, Reece, Dickey, 2010).…

    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.…

    This experiment was used to explore the Theory of Evolution created by Charles Darwin. The use of natural selection was apparent in the artificial modification of an organism 's traits which aided in this investigation. Through this experiment the Wisconsin Fast Plant was used. It is a fast-growing organism developed to improve the resistance to disease in cruciferous plants. This plant aids scientist in the exploration of environmental effects on population due to the speed to which is matures and reproduces. Artificial selection was stimulated by the selection against plants with few hairs (trichomes). Trichomes create a wider variation meaning it is polygenic. The plants that had only a few trichomes were exterminated and the rest were pollinated to create an F2 generation. This was done in an attempt to increase the number of plants with many hairs in the next generation. It turned out to be a successful use of natural selection due to the decreased amount of bald plants from the F1 generation to the F2 generation. Concerning how the experiment is actually performed, five Wisconsin fast seeds are planted into a cup full of soil and six fertilizer seeds. The seeds are then covered with more dirt and connected to a cup full of water through a wick. The soon to be plant is then placed under light for 24 hours. After this the plants with the highest amount of trichome numbers are found and kept. When flowers are present, the selected plants are cross pollinated with a pollinating stick and from there the plants are monitored and recorded.…

    Darwin's theory resides on the presence of Natural Selection in the animal kingdom. This means that favorable genetic mutations are "selected" for in nature, thus accounting for complex and highly specific organisms. The selection of favorable genetics is driven through competition for resources and the production of progeny. However, natural selection is a process dependent on random mutations of an organism’s genetic material. It hinges upon the fact that organisms obtaining randomly generated mutations, that provide a selective advantage in their environment, are more likely to form progeny and pass on their…
