Question

Difference between somatic hybrid and cybrid?

Answer 1

Somatic hybrid: protoplasts from the cells of two species are taken and fused together.

Cybrid: a complete cell of a species is fused with the anucleated cytoplasm.

Somatic hybrids don't have species barrier, where as cybrids are bound to species barrier.

Cybrids contain nucleus of one species but cytoplasm of both the parents(has genetic material of only one parent),where as somatic hybrids contain genetic material of both the parents.

Answer 2

Somatic hybrid are the hybrids which are formed as a result of the somatic hybridization. As a result of somatic hybridization, the nuclear and the cytoplasmic fusion does occur and it is known as the product is known as the somatic hybrid.

In certain cases, only the cytoplasmic fusion only occurs which may be followed by the loss of any one of the nucleus. Thus the cell becomes uninucleated and such a fusion product is known as cybrid or heteroplast.
