Selective breeding involves breeding animals or plants with desired traits to increase those traits in future generations. Genetic variations arise from mutations that can occur naturally or be induced by factors like radiation. While most mutations are harmless, some can be beneficial or harmful, like cancer-causing mutations. Techniques like hybridization and genetic engineering allow further manipulation of organisms by combining genes from different species or rewriting DNA. Transgenic organisms containing genes from other species have potential applications in medicine, agriculture, and materials production, but also raise ethical issues.

7. The liger is a hybrid cross between a male lion ( Panthera leo ) and a tigress ( Panthera tigris ). Thus, it has parents with the same genus but of different species.

9. The Czechoslovakian Wolfdog (or Vlčák/Vlčiak) is a relatively new breed of dog that traces its original lineage to an experiment conducted in 1955 in Czechoslovakia. After initially breeding 48 working line German Shepherd Dogs with 5 Eurasian wolves, a plan was worked out to create a wolf-dog hybrid that would have the temperament, pack mentality, and trainability of the German Shepherd Dog and the strength, physical build, and stamina of the Eurasian wolf.
10. Zebroid is the generic name for all zebra hybrids. The different hybrids are generally named using the convention of sire's name + dam's name. There is generally no distinction made as to which zebra species is used. Many times when zebras are crossbred, they develop some form of dwarfism.
43. Donor Nucleus These two cells are fused using an electric shock. Fused Cell The fused cell begins dividing normally. Embryo The embryo is placed in the uterus of a foster mother. The embryo develops normally into a lamb—Dolly Egg Cell An egg cell is taken from an adult female sheep. The nucleus of the egg cell is removed.
