Hybridization followed by selection
Hybridization and Artificial Selection. Breeders commonly use artificial selection to produce new breeds from the variable offspring of hybrid crosses. In particular, they have long used a process, known as the backcross breeding method, to obtain new types of organisms. The approach is to identify a type possessing some desirable trait and then to hybridize it with a "target stock" lacking the trait. If hybrids are obtained, the next step is to backcross them to the target stock in order to “introduce” the trait.
