A plant produced from crosses between two different plants is called a

• A. Hybrid
• B. Clone
• C. Graft
• D. Cultivar

Answer: (A)

Crossing two different plants brings together genetic material from two distinct parents, producing offspring that are hybrids. Hybrids combine traits from both parents and can show new characteristics. A clone is a genetically identical copy made by asexual reproduction, so it isn’t the result of crossing two plants. A graft is a method that attaches tissues from two plants but doesn’t create offspring from two different parents. A cultivar refers to a cultivated variety, which can arise from various breeding methods, not specifically from crossing two different plants. So the plant produced from crosses between two different plants is a hybrid.
