Living things that have parents that are quite different from each<br />

other are call hybrids. People sometimes breed hybrids because they<br />

may have more desirable traits than either of its parents. People often<br />

mate closely related living things on purpose. This process is called<br />

crossbreeding. A crossbreed is a product of mating individuals from<br />

two distinct breeds or varieties of the same species. Crossbreeding has<br />

given us new kinds of plants that resist disease, produce more food on<br />

the same area of land, and are more nutritious.<br />
