Hybridization refers to the process of combining different things to create a new entity. In biology, it specifically denotes the sexual reproduction between two individuals of different species, subspecies, or varieties, resulting in offspring that possess a combination of their parents' traits. This can occur naturally or be induced through artificial means. Hybridization allows for the transfer of genetic material and can lead to the creation of new genetic combinations, potentially offering advantages such as increased vigor or adaptation to different environments. The resulting hybrid offspring may be fertile or sterile, depending on the genetic compatibility of the parent organisms.

Beyond biology, the term "hybridization" is also used in other contexts. In technology, it can describe the merging of different systems or technologies, such as hybrid cars that combine electric and gasoline engines. In music, it might refer to the fusion of different genres or styles. The core concept remains the blending of distinct elements to produce something novel, often with characteristics derived from all contributing sources. The outcome of hybridization, regardless of the field, is a new form that is a composite of its predecessors.
