Question

Difference between cross breeding and interspecific hybridisation 2

Answer 1

Crossing - acts of mating two genetical compatible genotypes to have offspring.

hybrids involving different species of the same genus are called interspecific hybridization (also called intra-generic). Common examples include Mule (male donkey x female horse), Hinny (male horse x female donkey), Liger (male lion x female tiger). Note that in mules and hinnies, the common genus the parents belong to is Equus and in liger, its Panthera.
