Answer:

usually produces offspring that cannot reproduce

Explanation:

Hybridization is the process of crossing two organisms usually of different species, genus or families but of desirable characters to produce organisms known as hybrids.

<em>Hybrid organisms combine the characteristics of both parents and because of the difference in genetic composition of the parents, they are often sterile and hence, cannot reproduce.</em>

<em>Therefore, </em><em>hybridization usually produces offspring that cannot reproduce.</em>

Answer:

The correct answer is: c) usually produces offspring that cannot reproduce.

Explanation:

Hybridization, also knowns as selective breeding, is an <u>artificial process</u><u> that involves selecting parents with specific characteristics in order to obtain an offspring with the same traits</u>.

Hybridization is very common and has been performed by humans for thousands of years: from selective breeding crop plants, to do so with dogs in order to create more desirable breeds.

Option A is incorrect because hybridation does not occur in nature, it is an artificial process.

Option B is incorrect because hybridation often happens when the selected parents are chosen to reproduce (by a human).

Option D is correct because an important amount of hybrids are sterile (for example: mules).

Option D is incorrect as well because the offspring is not identical: it shares a combination of genes from both parents.
