None of the above

Detailed explanation-1: -Assertion : Hybrid is formed by a cross between two organisms that are different in one or more than one traits.
Detailed explanation-2: -Heterozygous individuals, on the other hand, used two different alleles to form the zygote. A dihybrid cross, therefore, is the mating of two individuals, both heterozygous for two different genes being observed.
Detailed explanation-3: -Hybrid is formed by a cross between two organisms that are different in one, or more than one trait.
Detailed explanation-4: -The differences in the characters (or traits) among the individuals of a species is called variation. Variations can be in the morphological appearance (phenotype) or the genetic makeup (genotype) of an organism. It can be caused by change in the DNA sequence (mutation), random mating, etc.
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.
