Hybrid nucleic acids can be formed by nucleic acid hybridization of DNA and RNA molecules. Protein hybridization allows for hybrid proteins to be formed from polypeptide chains.The pairing (tight physical bonding) of two complementary single strands of RNA and/or DNA to give a double-stranded molecule.The mating of two plants from different species or genetically very different members of the same species to yield hybrids (first filial hybrids) possessing some of the characteristics of each parent. Those (hybrid) offspring tend to be more healthy, productive, and uniform than their parents—a phenomenon known as "hybrid vigor."In genetics, the process of crossing individuals of unlike genetic constitution.The specific reassociation of complementary strands of nucleic acids (DNA with DNA or RNA with RNA).The process of producing offspring, hybrids, from genetically dissimilar parents. The process can produce hybrid plants or animals, or hybrid cells, called hybridomas, which are used in producing monoclonal antibodies.The production of hybrids by crossbreeding.
