Hybrids refers to something that combines two or more distinct things, such as characteristics, forms, or species, to create a new entity that retains qualities from each of its components.

A hybridoma is a cell that results from the fusion of a B cell (a type of immune cell responsible for producing antibodies) with a myeloma cell (a type of cancerous plasma cell). Hybridomas are used in biotechnology and medicine to produce large quantities of a specific antibody, which can be used to treat diseases such as cancer and autoimmune disorders.
