When scientists combine different plants in an attempt to grow a plant with the best traits from both parents, the new plant is called a(an):
A
Hybrid
B
Clone
C
Variation
D
Pistil
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Crossbreeding. Crossbreeding involves breeding two unrelated individuals. This is often used to produce offspring with desirable characteristics from two different individuals.

Detailed explanation-2: -A hybrid plant is the result of cross pollinating two different plant varieties and growing the seed the mix produces. The plant that grows from that seed combination is called a hybrid. Commercial cross planting is done to get some type of valued attribute of each initial variety into the offspring.

Detailed explanation-3: -Hybrid Plants A hybrid vegetable is created when plant breeders intentionally cross-pollinate two different varieties of a plant, aiming to produce an offspring, or hybrid, that contains the best traits of each of the parents. Cross-pollination is a natural process that occurs within members of the same plant species.

Detailed explanation-4: -hybrid, offspring of parents that differ in genetically determined traits. The parents may be of different species, genera, or (rarely) families.

Detailed explanation-5: -Interspecific hybrids are bred by mating individuals from two species, normally from within the same genus. The offspring display traits and characteristics of both parents, but are often sterile, preventing gene flow between the species.
