Crossbreed

A crossbreed is the offspring produced by breeding two different breeds, varieties, or species. This often occurs in animals, such as dogs or livestock, where traits from both parents can combine to create a new breed with characteristics from each. In plants, crossbreeding can enhance certain traits, such as yield or disease resistance. Crossbreeding is used to introduce desired traits and improve genetic diversity. However, it can also raise concerns about health issues or the stability of the new breed, depending on the genetic backgrounds of the parent species.
