In Greek mythology, a centaur is a hybrid of a man and a horse.
A hybrid plant may exhibit superior resistance to pests due to the combination of traits from different parent plants.
Farmers often cultivate hybrid crops for increased yield and improved qualities such as disease resistance.
Hybrid animals may inherit desirable traits from both parent species, enhancing their adaptability to specific environments.
The process of creating hybrid organisms involves crossbreeding to harness beneficial characteristics from diverse genetic sources.
