Interspecific hybrids are bred by mating two species, normally from within the same genus. The offspring display traits and characteristics of both parents. The offspring of an interspecific cross may be sterile. Sterility is attributed to the different number of chromosomes the two species have, for example donkeys have 62 chromosomes, while horses have 64, mules have 63. Mules and other sterile interspecific hybrids cannot produce viable gametes because the extra chromosome cannot make a homologous pair at meiosis, meiosis is dis ...

Hybrid vehicle - Trains trucks and buses. In May 2003 JR East started test runs with the so called NE (new energy) train and validated the system's operability (series hybrid with lithium ion battery) in cold regions. In 2004 Railpower had been running pilots in the US with the so called Green Goats which lead to orders starting in early 2005. Also in 2005 GE introduced its hybrid shifters on the market. Toyota claims to have started with the Coaster Hybrid Bus in 1997 on the Japanese market. In May 2003 GM start ...

Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit (BHS) is a modern linguistic category applied to a number of languages used in some of the Mahāyāna Buddhist sutras, such as the Perfection of Wisdom sutras. Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit languages are composite works assembled from elements of Classical Sanskrit and local Prakrit languages. BHS is classified as a Middle Indo-Aryan language. It is sometimes called "Mixed Sanskrit". Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit writings emerged after the fifth century BCE codification of Classical Sanskrit by the scholar ...

A dog hybrid is a cross between two purebred dogs of different breeds (selectively bred varieties). Hybrids are also known as crossbreeds or crossbreds, although the term crossbreed is also used to refer to a mixed-breed dog where the breed of only one parent or grandparent is known. A dog of unknown parentage is called a mongrel. In biology, the word hybrid refers specifically to a cross between two different species e.g. the dog and coyote. In less technical conversation and particularly in the dog world, the wo ...

A black bear and a European brown bear were bred together in the London Zoological Gardens in 1859, but the three cubs did not reach maturity. In "The Variation Of Animals And Plants Under Domestication" Charles Darwin noted: In the nine-year Report it is stated that the bears had been seen in the Zoological Gardens to couple freely, but previously to 1848 had most rarely conceived. In the Reports published since this date three species have produced young (hybrids in one case) [...] Bear < ...

Crossbreeding is the process of creating hybrids (also known as crossbreeds, or a description of the lineage of that which has undergone hybridization. This is sometimes refered to as mixing.

The puma has 38 chromosomes and the ocelot has 36 chromosomes. Ocelot-Puma hybrids were reported by G Dubost & J Royere in 1993 in "Zoo Biology 12". The parents were a captive male ocelot and a captive female puma sharing an enclosure in a private collection in French Guiana. They had shared their enclosure since 1986 and had been raised together. The ocelot is one third the size of the puma, but the pair produced four litters of hybrid offspring between 1 ...

See text Dactylorhiza Necker ex Nevski 1937, is a genus of terrestrial (ground-dwelling) plants from the orchid family (Orchidaceae). The name Dactylorhiza is derived from Greek words "daktylos" (finger) and "rhiza" (root). This is because of the shape of the genus' two undergorund tubers. Dactylorhiza were previouisly classified under Orchis. These orchids are distributed throughout the subarctic and temperate northern hemisphere : in Europe, from Scandinavia to North Africa; also on Madeira, Iceland, West Asia, North Asi ...

The first successful hybrid-electric car was engineered by Ferdinand Porsche in 1899. A recent working prototype was built by Herman Wouk's brother Victor Wouk (known as the Godfather of the Hybrid[3]) into a 1972 Buick Skylark provided by GM for the 1970 Federal Clean Car Incentive Program, but the program was killed by the EPA in 1976. Since then, hobbyists have continued to build hybrids but none was put into mass production by a major manufacturer ...

The Australian Dingo (a feral, rather than wild, species) hybridises freely with domestic dogs. This is now so widespread that many dingoes are now mongrels. Some dingo hybrids have been deliberately bred as pets, but are turned loose due to behavioural problems. These hybrids are accepted back into the wild dingo population where they breed with pure dingoes. In some parts of Australia, up to 80% of dingoes are hybrids. Dingoes are distinguishable from domestic dogs through DNA and through having longer teeth and longer muzzles. The Australian Kelpie sheepdog is widely believed to be a hybrid of dingo and Border Collie, ...

F1 hybrid - In plants. Two populations of breeding stock with desired characteristics are subject to inbreeding until the homozygosity of the population exceeds a certain level, usually 90% or more. Typically this requires more than ten generations. After this happens, both populations must be crossed while avoiding self-fertilization. Normally this happens in plants by deactivating or removing male flowers from one population, taking advantage of time differences between male and female flowering or hand-pollinating[1] ...

In "The Variation Of Animals And Plants Under Domestication" Charles Darwin wrote Bos primigenius and longifrons have been ranked by nearly all palaeontologists as distinct species; and it would not be reasonable to take a different view simply because their domesticated descendants now intercross with the utmost freedom. All the European breeds have so often been crossed both intentionally and unintentionally, that, if any sterility had ensued from such unions, it would certainly have been detected. [...]The late Lord Powis ...

There are many types of hybrids, differentiated by how the electric and fueled halves of the powertrain connect, and at what times each portion is in operation. Two major categories are series hybrids and parallel hybrids, though parallel designs are most common today. Some hybrid vehicles don't even use electricity for auxiliary energy storage. Most hybrids, no matter the specific type, use regenerative braking to recover energy when slowing down the vehicle. This simply involves run ...

Benefits of the hybrid design include: The internal-combustion engine in a hybrid vehicle is much smaller, lighter, and more efficient than the one in a conventional vehicle, because the engine can be sized for slightly above average power demand rather than peak power demand. The power curve of electric motors is better suited to variable speeds and can provide substantially greater torque at low speeds compared with internal-combustion engines. Like many electric cars, but in contrast to conventional veh ...
