Question

Mention merits and demerits of hybridization. (Biology) (plants)

Answer 1

Currently the genetic improvement of plants (obtaining hybrids) is very popular because of the short-term benefits they can have in the global economy. This industry is strongly focused on plants with commercial and medicinal value (examples: vegetables, fruit trees, ornamental plants, medicinal plants, among others). Although many do not believe it, a person without very deep knowledge of genetics can create plant hybrids in a natural way by classical and simple methods.
