Hybrid (Grapefruit)
Hybrids are "offspring of parents that differ in genetically determined traits". However, it is most commonly used to define animals or plants that are a result of a cross between two different individuals in the same species. Some happen naturally, but most of them happen due to human intervention. Plant hybridization is also done much more frequently and successfully than animal hybridization. Grapefruits actually are a cross between the sweet orange and the pomelo.
